address the City’s controls over its financial activities. These reports are attached to this staff
report.
As part of the fiscal year-end activities, the Finance and Library & Recreation departments worked
with the auditors to complete the annual audit of the City’s childcare program, as required by the
State of California.
For the year ending June 30, 2020, the City received funds under the purview of the
Transportation Development Act. As part of the fiscal year-end activities, the Finance and Public
Works departments worked with the auditors to complete the audit of the funds received, as
required by the State of California.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
On November 4, 2020, these final reports were presented to the City Council Finance Committee,
at which time it was agreed that staff would bring the reports forward to the full City Council.
ANALYSIS:
Overview
Fiscal Year 2019-2020 was a tale of two halves, with the first showing strong signs of growth and
the second a sharp decline resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Property tax revenues
remained strong, with growth in line with prior years, whereas sales taxes decreased year-over-
year by $1.8 million. The decrease in sales tax revenues, although significant, did not dip as low
as expected as construction, auto sales, and allocations from the County pool stemming from the
Wayfair decision finished the year stronger than forecasted. The City was forced to tap into its
General Fund Emergency Reserves to continue to provide essential services during the economic
downturn and prudent fiscal management will be necessary to restore it to the target level of ten
percent of operating expenses established by City Council Policy. Although the City weathered
the initial storm, challenges remain for the future as the effects of the pandemic continue while
we simultaneously work on recovery.
Fiscal year 2019-2020 marks the sixth year of implementation of the pension accounting standard
issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) known as GASB 68, and the
fourth year of implementation of the new Other Postemployment Benefits (OPEB) accounting
standard issued by GASB known as GASB 75. These requirements, which affect all public
agencies with defined benefit retiree plans, are designed to enhance the comparability of financial
statements by requiring the measurement of pension-related assets and liabilities at fair value,
using a consistent and detailed definition of fair value and accepted valuation techniques. The net
impact of reporting under GASB 68 lowers the City’s net position as of June 30, 2020 by $114.5
million from a reporting perspective. The net pension liability as of this date was measured to be
$133.9 million. The net impact of reporting under GASB 75 lowers the City’s net position as of
June 30, 2020 by $27.3 million. The net OPEB liability as of this date was measured to be
$26.6 million.
The full annual funding of the City’s Retiree and OPEB costs have been incorporated into the
adopted fiscal year 2020-2021 budget; therefore, there is no negative impact on City operations
or services resulting from the reporting of financial information under these reporting standards.
The City made major progress on the Public Safety Facility initiative using Measure E funds,
completing Fire Station 57 and the Public Safety Center. Construction expenses for the year
totaled $23.6 million, of which 90% were in support of the Public Safety Center and the remainder
mainly in support of Station 57. Total project-to-date spending is approximately $72 million.
Fiscal Year 2019-20 Annual Financial Report – Citywide Financial Results
The actual results of the City’s financial activities are presented in the attached Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report. The report includes Government-wide financial statements with
governmental activities and business-type activities presented separately. Net position is one
indicator of the City’s financial position. At the end of the fiscal year, net position of the City
governmental activities inclusive of all governmental funds, all assets of the City (including
infrastructure) and all liabilities (including long-term debt) was $138.1 million, an increase of $1.2
million from the prior year adjusted balance. This increase is largely attributable to the reduction
of expenses in the latter part of the year as a result of reduced capital project activity from shelter-
in-place orders. The Parking Fund, reported as a business-type activity, ended the fiscal year with
a net position of $9.9 million, or $57 thousand more than that of the previous fiscal year. The
fund’s cash balance makes up 27% of total net position.
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3
Additional explanatory information is provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) section beginning on page five of the attached CAFR. The MD&A provides key highlights
and a summary view of financial activities for the year.
Financial Results: General Fund
General fund operating expenditures exceeded revenues by $2.7 million. Measure E revenues of
$4.1 million dedicated to public safety facilities construction and infrastructure were transferred
out of the General Fund in support of the projects whereas $2.2 million was transferred from bond
proceeds in the Essential Facilities Capital Projects Fund to cover interest payments.
The fund balance of the General Fund as of June 30, 2020 was $9.8 million (a decrease of
$2.7 million from the prior year balance): $8 thousand is non-spendable and $9.8 million is
assigned. The assigned portion of the balance includes $7.8 million for emergency and cash flow
needs. As forecasted as part of the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget Staff report presented on June
15, 2020, the full amount of unassigned (one-time) available funds saved over prior years, $2.2
million were absorbed to cover the deficit as well a small portion of the General Fund Emergency
Reserves, $100 thousand and $404 thousand of the General Plan fund balance.
Gann Appropriations Limit
The Agreed-Upon Procedures report for the Gann Appropriations Limit required three procedures
to be performed including testing the accuracy of the calculations and comparison of information
presented. No exceptions were noted in these procedures for compliance with the Proposition
111 fiscal year 2020-2021 Appropriations Limit calculation.
Memorandum on Internal Control
The auditors are required to communicate to the City Council matters that come to their attention
relating to the audit in a report entitled Memorandum on Internal Control. Findings of deficiencies
in internal controls were mainly due to lack of documentation of review and approval, as well as
segregation of duties in certain cash operations. Staff responses addressing each comment are
included in the Memorandum.
Required Communications
Professional standards require that certain information regarding significant audit findings
related to the audit be communicated to those charged with governance. These
communications include minor changes to accounting policies, new accounting
pronouncements, and a discussion of significant accounting estimates among other items. No
adverse communications were noted.
Child Development Program (Childcare) Financial Report
The Childcare Program had negative operating results resulting from the pandemic, with $3.2
million in total revenues and $3.7 million in expenditures for the fiscal year. The fund balance
decreased from $1.7 million to $1.3 million of which funds have been accumulated for capital
improvements. The audit resulted in no adverse findings. This report still requires a closeout letter
from the State of California as it needs to match to the dollar to the State numbers. The State is
running behind on their closeout letters which results in a delay for the City in finalizing the Report.
No material adjustments are expected, if any. Staff recommends moving forward with the
acceptance of all reports and if there are any material changes, the Child Care Program Report
will be brought back to Council prior to finalizing.
Transportation Development Act Financial Report
SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 4
The City has developed pedestrian and bicycle capital projects of which the Transportation
Development Act provides funding assistance for eligible construction. These funds are
distributed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and are included in the Gas Tax fund.
The City has expended $423,983 of a total grant amount of $492,443 and has received
reimbursement of the total amount expended as of June 30, 2020. The audit resulted in no
adverse findings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact occurs by the City Council’s acceptance of these reports. The fiscal year 2019-
2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and related reports are presented as the actual
results of the City and related entities’ financial activities for the year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council accept the reports as presented. The reports will remain as
“draft” until City Council has accepted the reports.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council and Residents of San Rafael:
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (“CAFR”) of the City of San Rafael (“City”)
for the year ended June 30, 2020, is hereby submitted as required by local ordinances, state
statutes and bond covenants. This financial report has been prepared in conformance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as promulgated by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and includes the report of the independent certified
public accounting firm, Maze and Associates Accountancy Corporation, which has issued
an unmodified, or “clean” opinion on the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2020.
The independent audit of the financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated
examination known as a “Single Audit”, which is designed to meet the needs of federal
grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audits require the independent auditor to
report on the audited agency’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements,
with special emphasis on such controls and requirements involving the administration of
federal funding. These reports will be available in the City’s separately issued Single Audit
Report.
City Management is responsible for both the data accuracy, and the completeness and
fairness of the presentation of this report. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the data
presented is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner that presents fairly
the financial position and results of operations of the various funds and component units of
the City. Further, the CAFR is prepared in accordance with procedures and policies set by
the Government Finance Officers Association. The analysis of the financial condition and
the result of operations can be found in the financial section of the Management’s
Discussion and Analysis document. The CAFR is organized into three sections:
1. Introductory section, which is unaudited, includes this letter of transmittal, an
organizational chart and a list of the City’s elected and appointed officials.
2. Financial section, includes the basic financial statements, related footnote disclosures,
and the combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, as well as
the independent auditors' report.
3. Statistical section, which is unaudited, includes selected financial and demographic
information, presented on a multi-year basis. Generally, ten-year data is presented for
expenditures, revenues, assessed valuation for local properties and construction
activity.

REPORTING ENTITY – PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT
The City of San Rafael is located 17 miles north of San Francisco in Marin County.
Protected by its Mediterranean like setting along the shores of the San Francisco Bay, the
City enjoys a mild climate year-round. As the County seat, San Rafael is considered the
commercial, financial, cultural and civic hub of Marin County. Abundant recreational
facilities are available in and around the City. The City’s park and recreational resources
include 19 city parks, 393 acres of developed parkland, city and county open space, and
China Camp State Park. San Rafael is close to other attractions, including the Golden Gate
Bridge, Muir Woods, Point Reyes National Seashore, Mount Tamalpais, multiple state
parks, San Francisco, Oakland and the Sonoma and Napa wine country.
In 1874, the City of San Rafael became the first incorporated city in the county, later
becoming a charter city in 1913 by vote of City residents. The City Council comprises five
members; four are elected at-large to four-year terms while the mayor is elected separately
to a four-year term. The City’s land area is 22 square miles, including seventeen square
miles of land and 5 of water and tidelands. San Rafael's population on January 1, 2020 was
59,807.
In a normal year Downtown San Rafael is the location of many community events,
including the Thursday night Summer Market Festivals, Second Friday Art Walks, the
Twilight Criterium Bike Race, Mill Valley Film Festival, Winter Wonderland/Parade of
Lights. and is one of only 14 Cultural Arts Districts in the State of California. San Rafael is
also the heart of the County’s cultural activities with venues such as the Marin Center,
which presents numerous ballets, concerts, speaking engagements as well as the award-
winning Marin County Fair; the Falkirk Cultural Center, providing art exhibits and
children's programming; the Christopher B. Smith Film Center, and a host of other diverse
dining and entertainment venues. The City is also one of only 14 Cultural Arts Districts in
the State of California.
The City of San Rafael provides a full range of municipal services required by statute or
charter, namely: police and fire protection, construction and maintenance of streets, parks,
storm drains and other infrastructure, recreation, childcare, permits, planning, code
enforcement, and a library system serving two locations along with a temporary pop-up at
the Northgate Mall. The City performed certain infrastructure construction and economic
development activities through a separate Redevelopment Agency until its dissolution on
February 1, 2012. The City of San Rafael accepted the role of Successor Agency to the
Redevelopment Agency per Council action on January 3, 2012, and now conducts its
economic development activities with funding from its General Fund.
The City and California Municipal Finance Authority compose the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority, originally established by the City and former Redevelopment Agency

for the purpose of financing redevelopment and other projects. The San Rafael Sanitation
District is a discretely presented component unit of the City of San Rafael and is presented
independent of City financial information. For a further explanation of these entities, refer to
Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Financial Section of the CAFR.
The City participates in various organizations through formally organized and separate
entities established under the Joint Exercise of Powers Act of the State of California. As
separate legal entities, these agencies exercise full powers and authorities within the
scope of the related Joint Powers Agreement including the preparation of annual
budgets, accountability for all funds, and the power to make and execute contracts.
Obligations and liabilities of the separate entities are not those of the City. For a further
explanation of these separate entities, refer to Note 12 – Jointly Governed Organizations in
the CAFR.
During fiscal year 2019-2020, the City made significant progress towards improving our
essential facilities. Building from over a decade of community efforts to address San
Rafael's aging essential public safety facilities, the Essential Facilities project targets
several buildings recommended for either replacement or renovation, including a new
public safety center across the street from City Hall. These new buildings will be
seismically safe and provide modern facilities for our firefighters, police officers,
paramedics and dispatchers. They include an upgraded dispatch and communications
center, and a new classroom and training tower for emergency preparedness. The
architectural review for Fire Station 54 and Fire Station 55 commenced in mid-2019.
Construction of Fire Station 57 located at 3530 Civic Center Drive was completed in
November 2019, Fire Station 52 located at 210 3rd Street was completed in April 2019, and
the Public Safety Center was completed in August of 2020.
ECONOMIC FACTORS
The City has a diversified economic base, which includes an assortment of high-tech,
financial, service-based, entertainment and industrial businesses. Downtown San Rafael
provides a mix of restaurants, retail shops and financial institutions. The City’s varied
economic base is reflected in its property tax base, which is 74% residential, 20%
commercial, 2% industrial, and 4% unsecured and others. The top 25 sales tax producers
provide 49% of overall sales tax revenues.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the California economy. Where the
unemployment rate had fallen to record lows pre-pandemic it stands at 11% as of
September 2020. Initial forecasts of a sharp, or V shaped, recovery have been tempered
by the re-emergence of the virus which has paused re-opening plans. California has a
challenging road ahead as prospects of a prolonged recovery appear more likely as time
passes.

Locally, Marin County is also reeling from the effects of the pandemic, however, as the
county’s workforce is more concentrated in the finance, science and information sectors
there is hope the region’s employment figures will outperform much of the state that
relies more heavily on personal service and retail. A bright spot in an otherwise murky
landscape for post-COVID recovery.
Demographic Data
The following is a sample of demographic and economic attributes that make San Rafael an
exceptional place to live and work.
Economic development organizations in San Rafael include the San Rafael Chamber of
Commerce, Downtown Business Improvement District, and the Marin Economic
Forum.
Marin County’s top 10 employers include Kaiser Permanente, Marin Health Medical
Center, Dominican University of California, Marin Community Clinics, Novato
Community Hospital, Hospice by the Bay, W Bradley Electric, Wells Fargo,
Community Action Marin, and BioMarin.
Major shopping areas, as measured in available retail square footage, include the
Downtown corridor (938,000 aggregate), Northgate Mall (725,000), Montecito Center
(130,000) and Northgate One (113,900).
The top three sales tax categories in 2019 for San Rafael were: 1. Autos and
Transportation (24.1%), 2. Building and Construction (17.7%), and 3. State and County
Pools (15.9%).
Several hotels and motels support tourism activity, led by a combined 471 rooms in the
Embassy Suites and Four Points Sheraton. Citywide, the total number of hotel rooms
is 787.
Establishing and maintaining affordable residential housing for sale and lease continues
to be a challenge both in San Rafael and throughout Marin County. The median rent
for an apartment in San Rafael is $2,672. The median home value in San Rafael is
$1,100,740.
Recent growth and economic vibrancy:
San Rafael ranked No. 3 on the SMU National Center for Arts Research Vibrancy
Index. This overall index is composed of three dimensions: supply, demand, and
government support. Supply is assessed by the total number of arts providers in the
community, including the number of arts and culture organizations and employees,
independent artists, and entertainment firms. Demand is gauged by the total
nonprofit arts dollars in the community, including program revenue, contributed
revenue, total expenses, and total compensation. Lastly, the level of government
support is based on state and federal arts dollars and grants.

The City of San Rafael is also enjoying a boost in development of hotel rooms
thanks to a new AC Marriott Hotel currently under construction in the heart of
our Downtown. A dual-brand Hampton Inn/H2 Hotel is also coming soon in the
East San Rafael neighborhood to serve a variety of large retailers and businesses
as well as workers within the traditionally industrial area. These two hotels
combined are expected to add 325 new hotel rooms to the City and generate
much needed Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT).
The Downtown San Rafael Arts District (DSRAD) and the arts community
continues to thrive. We have made numerous artistic improvements throughout our
Downtown, including a facelift to our parking garage, rotating public art on
wayfinding signage, pop-up art in vacant windows in Downtown storefronts, and
custom bike racks highlighting San Rafael as a cultural district. We have
developed the first ever arts and culture plan for the City and are proud to continue
to have many arts organizations and stakeholders in our Downtown representing the
many voices and perspectives of our diverse arts community.
San Rafael continues to serve our local business and restaurant community,
especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where we have supported our
restaurants by expanding temporary outdoor dining options in our parking stalls,
sidewalks, and parking lots. In coordination with the Business Improvement
District, the City has also closed streets during our weekly ‘Dining Under The
Lights’ event where patrons can enjoy a meal outdoors under the newly extended
Tivoli lights that crisscross above the heart of our Downtown.
Construction of the Public Safety Center was recently completed with an official
opening expected in the coming months.
Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit completed and began commercial service on the
Larkspur Extension connecting Downtown San Rafael with the Larkspur Ferry
terminal.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The City's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls to
ensure that the City's assets are adequately protected from loss, theft or misuse. In addition,
management controls ensure that proper accounting data is collected so as to prepare
reports in conformance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal accounting controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance
regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition;
and (2) the reliability of financial records for preparing financial statements and
maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that
the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived. All internal control
evaluations occur within the above framework. It is management’s belief that the City's
internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance
that financial transactions are properly recorded.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of San Rafael (City),
California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the Table of Contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit
the component unit financial statements of the San Rafael Sanitation District, which represents 25%, 60%,
and 18%, respectively, of the assets, net position, and revenues of the primary government. Those financial
statements were audited by other auditors, whose report thereon has been furnished to us and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the San Rafael Sanitation District, is based solely on the
report of those auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment
of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information and the
discretely presented component unit of the City as of June 30, 2020, and the respective changes in
financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and required supplementary information, as listed in the Table of Contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be
an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures
do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The Introductory Section, Supplementary Information,
and Statistical Section as listed in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis
and are not required parts of the basic financial statements.
The Supplementary Information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information
directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplementary
Information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
The Introductory and Statistical Sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 9,
2020 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020
This analysis of the City of San Rafael’s (City) financial performance provides an overview of the City’s financial
activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Please read it in conjunction with the basic financial statements and
the accompanying notes to those basic financial statements.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Government-wide:
Net Position – The assets and deferred outflows of the City exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows as of
June 30, 2020 by $148 million.
Activities – During the fiscal year the City’s total revenues of $112.2 were greater than expenses of
$110.9 million for governmental and business-type activities.
Changes in Net Position – The City’s total net position increased by $1.3 million in fiscal year 2019-2020 as
compared to the net position of the previous year. Net position of governmental activities increased by $1.2
million, while net position of the business-type activities increased by $57 thousand.
Fund Level:
Governmental Funds – As of the close of fiscal year 2019-2020, the City’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $46.1 million, a decrease of $21.7 million primarily due expenditure of
bond proceeds from the fund balance of the prior year. Of this total amount, $15 thousand is nonspendable,
$34.3 million is restricted, $1.9 million is committed, $9.9 million is assigned, and ($11 thousand) is
unassigned.
Governmental fund revenues totaled $106.8 million, a decrease of $10.9 million from the those of the
previous fiscal year. Approximately $8.1 million was due to a reduction of grant and federal reimbursements
for expenses incurred on capital projects when compared to the prior year in the Gas Tax and Essential
Facilities Capital Projects funds. The remainder was due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic that were
partially offset by strong revenue collections earlier in the year.
Governmental fund expenditures decreased by $9.1 million to $129.8 million, from $138.9 million in the
prior year, due primarily to the reduction in activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Enterprise fund operating revenue decreased $299 thousand to a total of $5.1 million as a result of shelter-
in-place orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Enterprise operating expenditures totaled $4.3
million, a decrease of $0.6 million over the previous year.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements, which
have three components: 1) Government-wide Financial Statements, 2) Fund Financial Statements, and 3) Notes to
the Basic Financial Statements.
The basic financial statements include the City (primary government) and all legally separate entities (component
units) for which the government is financially accountable. This report also contains other supplementary information
in addition to the basic financial statements for further information and analysis.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements present the financial picture of the City and provide readers with a broad
view of the City’s finances. These statements present governmental activities and business-type activities separately
and include all assets of the City (including infrastructure) as well as all liabilities (including long-term debt).
Additionally, certain interfund receivables, payables, and other interfund activity have been eliminated as prescribed
by generally accepted accounting principles.
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position report information about
the City as a whole. These statements include all assets and liabilities of the City using the accrual basis of
accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s
revenues and expenses are taken into account, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows/inflows of resources,
and liabilities, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases in net position may serve as a useful
indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position presents information showing how the City’s net position
changed during the year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the
change occurs, regardless of timing of related cash flows.
In the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities and Changes in Net Position, City activities are
separated as follows:
Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported in this category, including Public Safety,
Public Works and Parks, Community Development, Cultural and Recreation, and Government Administration
(finance, human resources, legal, City Clerk and City Manager operations). Property tax, sales and use taxes, user
fees, interest income, franchise fees, hotel taxes, business licenses, and property transfer taxes, plus state and federal
grants finance these activities.
Business-type Activities – The City charges fees to customers to cover the full costs of certain services it provides.
The City’s Parking Services program is the City’s sole business-type activity.
Discretely Presented Component Units – The government–wide financial statements include not only the City itself
(the primary government), but also the San Rafael Sanitation District, a legally separate entity for which the City is
financially accountable. Financial information for the San Rafael Sanitation District is reported separately from the
financial information presented for the primary government.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 25 through 27 of this report.

Fund Financial Statements and Major Component Unit Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City are divided into three
categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
The fund financial statements provide detailed information about each of the City’s most significant funds called
major funds. Each major fund is presented individually with all non-major funds summarized and presented in a
single column. Further detail on the non-major funds is presented on pages 116 through 146 of this report.
Governmental Funds – Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide
financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable
resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may
be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financial capacity.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for government funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and
the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. These reconciliations are
presented on the page immediately following each governmental fund financial statement.
The City has thirty-two governmental funds, of which four are considered major funds for presentation purposes.
Each major fund is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. The City’s four major funds are: the General
Fund, Traffic and Housing Mitigation, Gas Tax and Essential Facilities Capital Projects. Data from the other twenty-
eight governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. The basic governmental fund financial
statements can be found on pages 30 through 33 of this report. Individual fund data for each of these non-major
governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements on pages 116 through 136 of this report.
Proprietary Funds – The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds - enterprise funds and internal
service funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The City uses an enterprise fund to account for its Parking Services program
and reports it as a major fund. Internal service funds are used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the
City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its building maintenance; vehicle,
equipment and computer replacement; workers’ compensation; general liability; self-insured dental program; other
employee and retiree benefits programs. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than
business-type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government wide financial
statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more
detail. Like the government-wide financial statements, proprietary fund financial statements use the accrual basis of
accounting. There is no reconciliation needed between the government-wide financial statements for business-type
activities and the proprietary fund financial statements.
The proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 36 through 38 of this report.

Fiduciary Funds – Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the
government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of
those funds are not available to support the City’s own programs. The City acts as an agent on behalf of others,
holding amounts collected, and disbursing them as directed or required. The City’s fiduciary activities are reported
in the separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Position and the Agency Funds Statement of Changes in Assets and
Liabilities. The City’s fiduciary funds include a private purpose trust fund to account for activities of the City of San
Rafael Successor Agency and an agency fund that accounts for resources held by the City in a custodial capacity for
the Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District. Information for the fiduciary funds can be found on pages 40 through
41 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages
43 through 94 of this report.
Required Supplementary Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information. One section includes budgetary comparison statements for the General Fund and major
funds (general, gas tax, and traffic and housing mitigation). The other section includes schedules of funding progress
for the Marin County Employees’ Retirement System and the City’s OPEB plan. All budgeted positions that are filled
by either full-time or permanent part-time employees (working seventy-five percent of full-time equivalent) are
eligible to participate in the System and the OPEB plan. Required supplementary information can be found on pages
95 through 110 of this report.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Statement of Net Position
Net position is one measurement of the City’s financial position. During this fiscal year, the net position of the City
was $138.1 million from Governmental Activities and $9.9 million from Business-type Activities, for a total of $148
million. This represents an increase of $1.3 million from the prior year net position.
The following is the condensed Statement of Net Position for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:
Current governmental assets decreased by $17.5 million, primarily due to the expenditure of bond proceeds for public
safety facility construction and improvements. The $19.4 million increase in capital assets reflects project-to-date
activity for the public safety facility construction and improvements in combination with major traffic infrastructure
improvements. The increase of $8.1 million in deferred outflows is primarily a result of a 3% increase in the City’s
proportionate share of the Unfunded Actuarial Liability per the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation. This change in
proportion was mainly attributable to the disproportionate reduction of the County’s Unfunded Actuarial Liability as
a result of larger than expected investment gains and contributions. Current and other liabilities increased by
approximately $1 million, primarily due to an increase in current claims payable. Noncurrent governmental liabilities
increased by $15.1 million a result of the increase in net pension liability, partially offset by the reduction in Net
OPEB liability, when compared to the prior year (Note 11). Deferred inflows decreased by $7.4 million as a result
of the difference between projected and actual earnings on investments per the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation. In
order to decrease the volatility of the measurement of net pension liability gains and losses in excess of those projected
are capitalized and amortized over a five-year period.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020
The net position in business-type activities reflects the fiscal activity of the Parking Services program and increased
by $56 thousand from the previous year. Capital assets decreased by $210 thousand due to current year depreciation.
The increase in deferred outflows was due to the proportion change of net pension liability mentioned above. The
$388 thousand increase in noncurrent liabilities is driven by the increase in net pension liabilities.
At June 30, 2020, the largest portion of total net position in the amount of $241.8 million consisted of the City’s
investment in capital assets net of related debt. This component represents the total amount of funds required to
acquire capital assets less any related debt used for such acquisition that is still outstanding. The City uses these
assets to provide services to residents. The capital assets of the City are not sources of income for repayment of debt
as most assets are not revenue generating and generally are not liquidated to repay debt. Therefore, debt service
payments are funded from other sources available to the City.
A portion of the City's total net position, $23.5 million, is subject to external restrictions, the use of which is
determined by those restrictions whether legal or by covenant. The remaining portion, unrestricted negative $117.3
million, represents the extent to which the net investment in capital assets and restricted net position exceed total net
assets.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020
The City’s governmental activities net position increased by $1.2 million during fiscal year 2019-2020. Year-over-
year decreases in revenues of $10.7 million resulting from the pandemic were still able to absorb the increase in
expenses of $4.8 million. Revenue decreases were concentrated in areas affected by the shelter-in-place coronavirus
pandemic orders such as sales taxes, transient occupancy taxes, and capital grants. Increases in program expenses
were concentrated in general government and public works. Although there was a decrease in operating expenses as
a result of the pandemic, a total increase in expenditures for general government and public works are the result of
required pension and OPEB related adjustments as well as increased claims and workers compensation expenditures
as determined by outside Actuarial reports. Due to the nature of allocations of expenses in the government-wide
statements, fluctuation analysis on program expenses is better performed on the fund level financial statements.
Growth in property taxes stemmed from the 2% proposition 13 inflation adjustment that was unaffected by the
pandemic.
The year-over-year $1.8 million decrease in sales taxes is due to reduced economic activity resulting from shelter-in-
place orders to guard against the coronavirus pandemic. The recently enacted Wayfair decision played a crucial role
in helping to mitigate the loss as sales shifted on-line and greater tax revenues were allocated to the City from the
County pool responsible for distributing taxes on on-line purchases.
The increase in fiscal year 2019-2020 governmental expenses was due, in part, to pension expense adjustments
recorded under GASB 68, as well as increased internal service fund expenditure allocations resulting primarily from
Workers’ Compensation premiums and claims during the year.

Parking services is the City’s only business-type activity with income derived from program revenues of
$5.1 million. Program revenues include parking meter coin income of $1.5 million and parking garage hourly
and monthly parking income of $1 million. Revenues also include parking and non-vehicle code fines totaling
$2.5 million. Total expenses for parking services were $4.5 million and transfers out to general fund and non-

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDS
Governmental Funds
Fund Balance Classifications
Fund balances are classified in five categories: nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned based
on a hierarchy of constraint. Further details on fund balance classifications can be found in Note 8B.
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances
of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financial capacity. In particular, unassigned
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the
fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2020, the City reported a combined ending fund balance of $46.1 million for all governmental funds
(a decrease of $21.7 million from the prior year): $15 thousand is non-spendable, $34.3 million is restricted,
$1.9 million is committed, $9.9 million is assigned, and ($11) thousand is unassigned.
General Fund – The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the City.
General Fund – The fund balance of the General Fund as of June 30, 2020 was $9.8 million (a decrease of $2.7 million
from the prior year balance): $8 thousand is non-spendable and $9.8 million is assigned. The assigned portion of the
balance includes $7.8 million for emergency and cash flow needs.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights:
The original adopted General Fund budget projected total revenue of $80.7 million and transfers-in of $4.7 million
for total resources of $85.4 million. This budget appropriated expenditures of $80.3 million and transfers-out of
$6.1 million for total appropriations of $86.4 million. Expenditures were later increased to $81.3 million to
accommodate increased public safety overtime expenditures as well as increased liability claims. Transfers-out were
increased by $546 thousand based on increased support of recreation fund expenditures as a result of the pandemic
and project support.
Actual revenues, at $80.3 million, were lower than the original budgeted revenues by $0.4 million. The was due to a
decrease in tax revenues as a result of the coronavirus pandemic that were partially offset by larger than expected tax
receipts earlier in the year as well as large one-time collections for fees related to large development projects.
Expenditures of $81.2 million were greater than the original budgeted expenditures by $0.8 million, primarily due to
increased liability claims.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020
Fiscal year 2019-2020 General Fund expenditures, operating and capital transfers out of $87.7 exceeded revenues
and transfers of $85 million by $2.7 million. Prior year assigned and unassigned fund balances including the General
Fund Emergency and Cash Flow Reserve were utilized to absorb the loss.
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Fund – The City uses this fund to collect developer contributions to be used for
major street improvement and housing infrastructure projects. During the year, the fund balance decreased from $5.2
million to $4.2 million. Revenues totaled $1 million, while $2 million was charged against this fund to support the
maintenance of the City-wide traffic model. Installation of a multi-use pathway along Francisco Boulevard accounted
for charges of $763 thousand, the Innovative Deployment of Enhanced Arterial project designed to proactively
identify and correct traffic signal performance accounted for $467 thousand, and a project to install new queue cutter
signals on 2nd and 3rd streets next to the rail crossing accounted for $365 thousand. The balance in the fund is being
held in anticipation of major street projects identified in the General Plan 2040 and other qualifying expenditures.
Gas Tax Fund – The City uses this fund to manage its allocation of State gasoline taxes and local funding for street
maintenance projects. Gas tax revenues exceeded expenditures and net transfers by $1.8 million in fiscal year 2019-
2020 resulting in an increase in fund balance from $4.7 million to $6.5 million. The activities for the year were all
planned and approved project work.
Expenditures during fiscal year 2019-2020 totaled $5.8 million. In addition to routine street-related maintenance of
$1.8 million, major expenditures included $3.1 million for street resurfacing and restriping, $570 thousand for a
multi-use path along Francisco Boulevard, $398 thousand for emergency slide repair at 70 Irwin, $155 thousand for
sidewalk improvements along Francisco Boulevard, $113 thousand to for the Grand Avenue pathway connector
project, and $258 thousand related to studies and improvements to Third Street.
The largest sources of revenues were $1.7 million in development impact fees, $1.4 million from State gasoline taxes,
$1.2 million in local Measure A funding, and $1.1 million in State RMRA (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Account) funding.

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2020
Essential Facilities Capital Projects Fund – The City uses this fund to account for major capital improvements to
public safety facilities. During the year, construction of Fire Station 57 was completed and the Public Safety Center
was substantially complete. Expenditures during fiscal year 2019-2020 totaled $23.6 million, of which $4.2 million
was transferred from the General Fund from an allocation of Measure E Transaction and Use Tax and $950 thousand
was allocated from paramedic tax funds.
Non-major Governmental Funds – The City’s non-major funds are presented in the basic financial statements in the
aggregate. At June 30, 2020, non-major funds had a total fund balance of $13.1 million, a $100 thousand increase
over that of the previous year. The largest fund balance decrease, $473 thousand, was recorded in the Childcare Fund
as result of reduced charges for services from closure during shelter-in-place orders. The largest fund balance
increase, $487 thousand, was recorded in the Stormwater Fund as budgeted activity was hindered by the pandemic.
Of the ending total non-major fund balances of $13.0 million: $11.1 million (85%) is legally restricted for specific
purposes by external funding source providers, $1.9 million (14%) is committed for special purposes by the City
Council, $121 thousand (1%) is assigned, $8 thousand (less than 1%) is nonspendable, and a negative balance of $11
thousand is unassigned. The negative balance resulted from wildfire prevention activities performed in advance of
Measure C – Wildfire Prevention Fund revenue collection in order to prepare for the upcoming fire season. Additional
information about these aggregated non-major funds is presented in the combining statements which immediately
follow the required supplementary information.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds are presented in the basic financial statements in a manner similar to that found in the
government-wide financial statements, but in more detail. As noted in the Summary of Changes in Net Position –
Business-type Activities at page 26, the City’s enterprise fund net position increased by $72 thousand during the
fiscal year. The Parking Services Fund is the City’s sole business-type (Enterprise) activity.
The proprietary fund operating revenue decreased by $299 thousand in fiscal year 2019-2020 to $5.1 million. The
enterprise fund operating expenses were $4.3 million in fiscal year 2019-2020, a decrease of $0.6 million over the
prior fiscal year. The change in operating revenues and expenses was primarily driven by the State shelter-in-place
orders.
The City’s Internal Service Funds are also reported in this Proprietary Fund classification. In fiscal year 2019-2020,
the Internal Services Funds were comprised of: Building Maintenance, Vehicle Replacement, Equipment
Replacement, Employee Benefits, Liability Insurance, Workers’ Compensation, Dental Insurance, Employee
Retirement, OPEB/Retiree Medical, Radio Replacement, Telephone Replacement and Sewer Maintenance. The net
position of the Internal Service Funds increased by $3.3 million. Net investment in capital assets decreased by $196
thousand, while unrestricted fund balance increased by $3.5 million. The decrease in capital assets resulted primarily
from depreciation of existing capital assets. The increase in unrestricted fund balance reflected increased allocations
to the Liability Fund and Employee Retirement Fund to support increased claims and funding two years of pension
obligation bond debt service, respectively. The other Internal Service Funds reported small-to-moderate changes to
their respective net positions.

ECONOMIC CLIMATE AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGET
In early 2020 the globe was sent into an economic and social crisis from the rapid outbreak of COVID-19. Economies
went into freefall as efforts to combat the virus disrupted the global supply chain. The United States saw its gross
domestic product fall 9.5 percent in the second quarter and unemployment jump to 14.7 percent in April. Stimulus
measures such as cutting interest rates and direct payments have helped to mitigate the toll on the American economy.
The road to recovery is beginning to appear lengthier than some may have predicted, and the country is likely to
continue to face ongoing challenges in the years ahead.
California faces the new year with a $54.3 billion budget deficit and an unemployment rate of 11% as of September,
a stark contrast from the record low unemployment rates and record expansion reported just a year ago. The State has
been slow to reopen as new cases hold near levels seen in the spring and conditions will remain restrictive for
businesses in the near term. It remains to be seen how the reopening will impact case numbers, but all indications
are that a prolonged recovery should be expected.
Locally, Marin County’s unemployment rate fares better than all but one California county at 6.5% as of September
as its workforce is more concentrated in the finance, science and information sectors sheltering the County from
larger adverse effects of the pandemic. The real estate market in Marin has seen a recent boom with home sales up
37% and median home sales prices increasing 21% year over year which should translate to increased gains in
property taxes.
In San Rafael, economic impacts remain mixed. Property taxes are continuing to grow and the recent housing boom
in Marin is expected to bolster that trend going forward whereas sales and use tax revenue, transient occupancy tax,
and business licenses will continue to see adverse impacts of the pandemic as the reopening and recovery appears
likely to take a prolonged approach.
The City’s general fund, after years of solid operating results, is seeing a reversal that is expected to continue through the
next few fiscal years. Staffing levels have decreased and the City has tapped into the emergency reserve to maintain vital
services and, at the same time, the City is fully funding its actuarially-determined, required contributions for both pension
and retiree medical (OPEB) obligations.
Reductions in staffing and service levels, coupled with deferred maintenance of City facilities as methods of coping with the
economic downturn means additional revenue sources will be required to get back to service and maintenance levels that
were the norm prior to the pandemic.
Sales tax and transactions and use tax (Measure E) combined, represent the City’s largest tax revenue generators. The City’s
second largest tax generator is property tax. The City is expecting the fiscal year 2020-2021 tax roll to increase by
approximately five percent over the previous year. Other tax and non-tax revenues are expected to decline as we enter a
fiscal year that is expected to be entirely affected by the economic toll of the pandemic.
The City’s largest expenditure relates to personnel costs. Salaries and benefits are tied to the labor agreements with each
bargaining group. With the exception of SEIU-Childcare, which has a two-year contract expiring on October 31, 2021,
the City’s labor units are all operating under extensions of two-year contracts that expire on June 30, 2021.
In the bond markets, the San Rafael name is recognized as a high credit municipal entity given both the City’s financial
strength and solid financial management. Because the City’s bonds are highly sought by investors and are competitive in
the marketplace, the City can borrow funds at reasonably attractive rates. The City maintains an AA issuer credit rating with
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.

STATEMENT OF NET POSITION AND
STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities summarize the entire City’s financial
activities and financial position. They are also referred to as Government-wide financial statements.
The Statement of Net Position reports the difference between the City’s total assets and deferred outflows of
resources and the City’s total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, including all the City’s capital
assets and all its long-term debt. The Statement of Net Position focuses the reader on the composition of the
City’s net position, by subtracting total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources from total assets and
deferred outflows of resources.
The Statement of Net Position summarizes the financial position of all of the City’s Governmental Activities
in a single column, and the financial position of all the City’s Business-type Activities in a single column;
these columns are followed by a total column which presents the financial position of the entire City.
The City’s Governmental Activities include the activities of its General Fund, along with all its Special
Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. Since the City’s Internal Service Funds service these
Funds, their activities are consolidated with Governmental Activities, after eliminating inter-fund
transactions and balances. The City’s Business-type Activities include all its Enterprise Fund activities.
The Statement of Activities reports increases and decreases in the City’s net position. It is also prepared on
the full accrual basis, which means it includes all the City’s revenues and all its expenses, regardless of
when cash changes hands. This differs from the “modified accrual” basis used in the Fund financial
statements, which reflect only current assets, current liabilities, deferred outflows/inflows of resources,
available revenues and measurable expenditures.
The Statement of Activities presents the City’s expenses first, listed by program, and follows these with
the expenses of its business-type activities. Program revenues - that is, revenues which are generated
directly by these programs - are then deducted from program expenses to arrive at the net expense of each
governmental and Business-type program. The City’s general revenues are then listed in the
Governmental Activities or Business-type Activities column, as appropriate, and the Change in Net
Position is computed and reconciled with the Statement of Net Position.
Both these Statements include the financial activities of the City and the San Rafael Joint Powers
Financing Authority which are legally separate but are considered to be component units of the City
because they are controlled by the City, which is financially accountable for their activities. The balances
and the activities of the San Rafael Sanitation District, a discretely presented component unit, are
included in these statements in a separate column.

NET CHANGE IN FUND BALANCES - TOTAL GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS ($21,743,362)
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are
different because of the following:
Capital Assets Transactions
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of
those assets is capitalized and allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay and improvement expenditures are added back to fund balance 26,072,936
Loss on disposal of capital assets is deducted from fund balance (23,413)
Depreciation expense is deducted from fund balance (6,504,027)
(Depreciation expense is net of internal service fund depreciation of $1,309,673, which has
already been allocated to serviced funds.)
Long-Term Debt Proceeds and Payments
Governmental funds record proceeds and payments as other financing sources and expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Net Position, those costs are reversed as increases and decreases
in long-term liabilities.
Repayments on long-term debt principal 618,316
Amortized bond premium expense is added back to fund balance 507,944

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Description of the Financial Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements present the City of
San Rafael (the City) as the Primary Government, with its component units for which the City is
considered financially accountable. The component units discussed below are included in the City's
reporting entity because of the significance of their operational and financial relationships with the
City.
B. Description of Blended Component Units
The accompanying basic financial statements include all funds and boards and commissions that
are controlled by the City Council. The basic financial statements include the City’s blended
component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially accountable. A
blended component unit, although a legally separate entity, is in substance, part of the City’s
operations and so data from this entity is combined with the City. The City’s blended component
units are described below.
San Rafael Joint Powers Financing Authority – The San Rafael Joint Powers Financing
Authority (Authority) was formed by the City of San Rafael and the former San Rafael
Redevelopment Agency (Agency) pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title
1 of the Government Code of the State of California for the purpose of assisting in the financing
and refinancing of certain assessment district and redevelopment-related activities in the City. On
March 18, 2013, the Agency was replaced by the California Municipal Finance Authority
(CMFA) in order that the life of the Authority would extend beyond that of the Agency. The
Authority is administered by a governing board whose members are the City Council of the City.
Activities of the Authority related to the 2012 Authority Lease Revenue Refunding Bonds are

C. Description of Discretely Presented Component Unit
San Rafael Sanitation District – The San Rafael Sanitation District (District) was formed in
1947 under Section 4700 of the California Health and Safety Code to provide wastewater
transmission over the southern two-thirds of the City and adjacent unincorporated areas.
The District is governed by a three-member Board of Directors who are appointed to four-year
terms. The City Council of the City appoints two out of the three board members and has the
ability to remove the two board members at will.
The City contracts with the District to maintain the collection systems in the City and surrounding
unincorporated areas. These employees are paid through the City’s payroll department and
participate in the City’s cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan administered
by the Marin County Employees’ Retirement Association. The employees also participate in the
City’s healthcare benefits plan which includes a provision for postemployment benefits. These
costs are the obligation of the District and not the City. As discussed in Note 4F, a receivable
from the District has been established.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The District’s activities are reported as a discretely presented component unit in a separate
column in the basic financial statements which includes the District’s assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, results of operations and cash flows. The District’s fiscal year ends on June 30 and its
separately issued component unit financial statements can be obtained at the San Rafael
Sanitation District, 111 Morphew Street, San Rafael, California 94901.
D.Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Statements – The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities
display information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These
statements include the financial activities of the overall City government, except for fiduciary
activities. Interfund transfers and amounts owed between funds within the primary government
have been eliminated from the statements. Amounts representing interfund services and uses
remain in the statements. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-
type activities of the City. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions. Business-type activities are
financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties.
The Statement of Activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues
for each segment of the business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s
governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program
or function. Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients of goods or services
offered by the programs, (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational
needs of a particular program and (c) fees, grants and contributions that are restricted to financing
the acquisition or construction of capital assets. Revenues that are not classified as program
revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements – The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s
funds, including fiduciary funds and blended component units. Separate statements for each fund
category – governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund
financial statements is on major individual governmental and enterprise funds, each of which is
displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated
and reported as non-major funds.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange
transactions associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in
which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as
subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
E.Major Funds and Other Reported Funds
Major funds are defined as funds that have either assets and deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources, revenues or expenditures/expenses equal to ten
percent of their fund-type total and five percent of the grand total. The General Fund is always a
major fund. The City may also select other funds it believes should be presented as major funds.

The City reported the following major governmental funds in the accompanying financial
statements:
General Fund – Established to account for all financial resources necessary to carry out basic
governmental activities of the City which are not accounted for in another fund.
Traffic and Housing Mitigation Special Revenue Fund – Established to maintain long-term
developer contributions for major housing and street improvement projects.
Gas Tax Special Revenue Fund – Established to receive and expend the City’s allocation of
State gasoline taxes.
Essential Facilities Capital Projects Fund – Established to account for major capital
improvements to public safety facilities.
The City reported its only enterprise fund as a major fund in the accompanying financial
statements. The enterprise fund is:
Parking Services Fund – Established to maintain parking garages, lots and spaces in the
Downtown Parking District, and to pay for parking enforcement, meter collection, and downtown
enforcement services.
The City also reports the following fund types:
Internal Service Funds – These funds account for: building maintenance; vehicle, equipment
computer, radio, and telephone replacement; employee benefits; liability insurance; workers’
compensation; dental insurance; employee retirement; retiree medical (OPEB); and sewer
maintenance.
Fiduciary Funds – These funds include: Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency Private-
Purpose Trust Fund – which accounts for the accumulation of resources held by the Successor
Agency to the Redevelopment Agency to be used for payments at appropriate amounts and times
in the future; and Pt. San Pedro Road Assessment District Agency Fund – which accumulates
funds for the payment of principal and interest for Pt. San Pedro Road Median Landscaping
District bonds. The financial activities of these funds are excluded from the government-wide
financial statements, but are presented in the separate Fiduciary Fund financial statements.
F. Basis of Accounting
The government-wide, proprietary, fiduciary and discretely presented component unit financial
statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the full accrual
basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Agency funds are
custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of
operations.

For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and
the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when
measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to
be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end with the exception of
sales and use tax revenues which are reported as available if collected within ninety days of year-
end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal
and interest on long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are
reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds from long-term debt and acquisitions
under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property and sales taxes, certain intergovernmental
revenues, interest revenue, charges for services, fines and forfeitures. Other receipts and taxes are
recognized as revenue when the cash is received.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City gives or receives value without directly receiving
or giving equal value in exchange include taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On the
accrual basis, revenue from taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied or
assessed. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in
which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied. Under the terms of grant agreements, the
City may fund certain programs with a combination of cost-reimbursement grants, categorical
block grants, and general revenue. Thus, both restricted and unrestricted net position may be
made available to finance program expenditures. The City’s policy is to first apply restricted
grant resources to such programs, followed by general revenues if necessary.
The City considers restricted shared state revenues such as gasoline taxes and public safety sales
taxes, restricted locally imposed transportation sales taxes, fines, forfeitures, licenses, permits,
charges for services, and program grants as program revenues.
Certain indirect costs are included in program expenses reported for individual functions and
activities.
G. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position or fund balance that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then.

In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position or balance sheet will sometimes report
a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element,
deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position or fund balance that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue)
until that time. Unavailable revenue, a type of deferred inflow of resources, is reported in the
governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from
three sources: taxes receivable, interest on interfund advances and loans receivable. These
amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts
become available.
H. Budgets, Budgetary Accounting, and Encumbrances
The City adopts an annual budget which is effective July 1 for the ensuing fiscal year. The budget
reflects estimated revenues and expenditures, except for the capital projects funds and the Peacock
Gap Assessment District and Mariposa Assessment District Debt Service Funds. Appropriations
and spending authorizations for projects in the capital projects funds and some special revenue
funds are approved by the City Council on a multi-year basis. From the effective date of the budget,
which is adopted at the department level, the amounts stated therein as proposed expenditures
become appropriations to the various City departments. The City Council may amend the budget by
resolution during the fiscal year in order to respond to emerging needs, changes in resources, or
shifting priorities. Expenditures may not exceed appropriations at the fund level, which is the legal
level of control. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between accounts,
departments or funds; the Council must approve any increase in the City’s operating expenditures,
appropriations for capital projects, and transfers between major funds and reportable fund groups.
Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for the
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds and the 1997 Financing Authority Revenue Bonds Debt
Service Fund.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders for expenditures are recorded in order to
reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of the budgetary
process. All unencumbered appropriations lapse at year end.
I. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid investments
(including all restricted assets) with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents. The City maintains a cash and investment pool that is available for use by all funds.
As the proprietary funds' share of this pool is readily available when needed, such share is also
considered to be cash equivalent.
J. Prepaids
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are
recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of
prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.

K. Capital Assets
City
Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated acquisition value on the date contributed.
Donated capital assets, donated works of art and similar items, and capital assets received in a
service concession arrangement are recorded at acquisition value. All other capital assets are
valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
Interest incurred during the construction phase is reflected in the capitalized value of the asset
constructed, net of interest earned on the invested proceeds over the same period.
City policy has set the capitalization thresholds for reporting capital assets at the following:
General capital assets ranging from $5,000 to $50,000
Infrastructure capital assets ranging from $25,000 to $250,000
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method which means the cost of the asset is divided
by its expected useful life in years and the result is charged to expense each year until the asset is
fully depreciated. The purpose of depreciation is to spread the cost of capital assets equitably
among all users over the life of these assets. The amount charged to depreciation expense each year
represents that year’s pro rata share of the cost of capital assets.
The City has assigned the useful lives listed below to capital assets:
Buildings, improvements, and structures 20 – 50 years
Machinery and equipment 4 – 20 years
Infrastructure 15 – 50 years
District
Collection systems and facilities purchased or constructed are stated at cost. Assets contributed are
recorded at the estimated acquisition value at the date received. Interest is capitalized for assets
constructed when applicable. The costs of normal repairs and maintenance that do not add to the
value of an asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Improvements are capitalized
and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related capital assets, as applicable.
Applicable capital assets must be capitalized for amounts $1,000 or above and may be capitalized
for amounts from $500 to $1,000 if determined to be sensitive. Depreciation is provided by the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of capital assets as follows:
Subsurface lines 50 – 80 years
Sewage collection facilities 5 – 50 years
General plant and administrative facilities 3 – 15 years

Compensated absences are accrued as earned. Upon termination, employees are paid for all unused
vacation at their current hourly rates. Unused sick leave may be compensable up to 600 hours,
depending upon the provisions of the MOUs, which vary by bargaining unit.
The long-term portion of the liability for compensated absences for governmental fund type
operations is recorded as compensated absences in the government-wide financial statements.
Compensated absences are liquidated by the fund that has recorded the liability. Proprietary fund
liabilities are recorded within their respective funds. The long-term portion of governmental
activities compensated absences is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.

M. Property Tax Levy, Collection and Maximum Rates – City
State of California Constitution Article XIII A provides that the combined maximum property tax
rate on any given property may not exceed 1% of its assessed value unless an additional amount for
general obligation debt has been approved by voters. Assessed value is calculated at 100% of market
value as defined by Article XIII A and may be adjusted by no more than 2% per year unless the
property is sold, transferred, or substantially improved. The State Legislature has determined the
method of distribution of receipts from a 1% tax levy among the counties, cities, school districts and
other districts. Marin County assesses properties, bills for and collects property taxes on the schedule
that follows:
Secured Unsecured
Valuation/lien dates January 1 January 1
Levy dates July 1 July 1
Due dates (delinquent as of) 50% on November 1 (December 10) July 1 (August 31)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
For assessment and collection purposes, property is classified as either “secured” or “unsecured” and
is listed accordingly on separate parts of the assessment roll. The “secured roll” is that part of the
assessment roll containing State-assessed property and real property having a tax lien that is
sufficient, in the opinion of the Country Assessor, to secure payment of the taxes. Unsecured
property comprises all taxable property not attached to land, such as personal property or business
property. Every tax levied by a county that becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all
present and future private liens arising pursuant to State law on the secured property, regardless of
the time of the creation of the other liens. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien
against the taxed unsecured property, but may become a lien on other property owned by the
taxpayer.
Property taxes are levied and recorded as revenue when received in the fiscal year of levy because of
the adoption of the “alternate method of property tax distribution,” known as the Teeter Plan, by the
City and the County of Marin. The Teeter Plan authorized the auditor-controller of the County of
Marin to allocate 100% of the secured property taxes billed, but not yet paid. The County of Marin
remits tax monies to the City in three installments, as follows:
55% remitted on December 15
40% remitted on April 15
5% remitted on June 15
N. Sewer Charges – District
Sewer charges are billed and collected on behalf of the District by the County of Marin as a
special assessment on annual property tax billings. Property taxes are levied on January 1 and are
due in two equal installments on November 1 and February 1 and become delinquent December
10 and April 10, for the first and second installments, respectively. In accordance with the Teeter
Plan, the County remits to the District all charges which are assessed and the county retains
responsibility for collecting past due amounts.
The Teeter Plan provides that the County advance the District its share of the annual gross levy of
secured property taxes and special assessments. In consideration, the District gives the County of
Marin its rights to penalties and interest on delinquent secured property tax receivables and actual
proceeds collected.
O. Connection Fees – District
Connection fees represent a one-time contribution of resources to the District imposed on
contractors and developers for the purpose of financing capital improvements. Connection fees
are recognized after non-operating revenues (expenses) in the statement of revenues, expenses
and changes in net position. The District utilizes connection fees received on a first-in-first-out
basis to finance current year capital projects. Accordingly, if there is a balance of connection fees
available at year-end, it is classified as restricted net position.

P. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City
categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in
measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included within level 1 – that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair
value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
Q. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
R.New Fund
In fiscal year 2019-2020, the City established a Special Revenue Fund, Measure C – Wildfire
Prevention, for the purpose of reporting tax revenue and expenditures related to coordinated wildfire
prevention activities authorized by Measure C, a parcel tax measure approved on March 3, 2020 by a
two-thirds supermajority vote. This is a ten-year parcel tax levying up to 10 cents per building
square foot tax and $75 per multifamily unit.
NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
A. Policies
The City maintains an investment policy that emphasizes safety, liquidity and reasonable market
yield. This policy is reviewed and approved by the City Council annually.
The City invests in individual investments and in investment pools. Individual investments are
evidenced by specific identifiable securities instruments, or by an electronic entry registering the
owner in the records of the institution issuing the security, called the book entry system. In order to
increase security, the City employs the trust department of a bank as the custodian of certain City
managed investments, regardless of their form.

California Law requires banks and savings and loan institutions to pledge government securities
with a market value of 110% of the City’s cash on deposit, or first trust deed mortgage notes with a
market value of 150% of the deposit, as collateral for these deposits. Under California Law this
collateral is held in a separate investment pool by another institution in the City’s name and places
the City ahead of general creditors of the institution.
The City’s investments are carried at fair value, as required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The City adjusts the carrying value of its investments to reflect their fair value at each
fiscal year end, and it includes the effects of these adjustments in income for that fiscal year.
B. Classification
Cash and investments as of June 30, 2020, are classified in the financial statements as shown below,
based on whether or not their use is restricted under the terms of City debt instruments or agency
agreements.

F. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. Normally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its
fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City also manages its interest rate risk by holding

NOTE 2 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS (Continued)
The City is a participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is regulated by
California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of the State of
California. The City reports its investment in LAIF at the fair value amount provided by LAIF,
which is the same as the value of the pool share. The balance is available for withdrawal on
demand, and is based on the accounting records maintained by LAIF, which are recorded on an
amortized cost basis. Each regular LAIF account is permitted to have up to 15 transactions per
month, with a minimum transaction amount of $5,000, a maximum transaction amount of $75
million and at least 24 hours advance notice for withdrawals of $10 million or more. Bond
proceeds accounts are subject to a one‐time deposit with no cap and are set up with a monthly
draw down schedule.
Included in LAIF’s investment portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed
securities, other asset-backed securities, loans to certain state funds, and floating rate securities issued
by federal agencies, government-sponsored enterprises, United States Treasury Notes and Bills, and
corporations. At June 30, 2020, these investments matured in an average of 191 days.
Money Market Mutual Funds are available for withdrawal on demand. The investment portfolio of
the Money Market Mutual Fund had an average maturity of 46 to 48 days at June 30, 2020.
The City invests the proceeds of the 2018 Authority Lease Revenue Bonds with the California Asset
Management Program (CAMP). CAMP is a California Joint Powers Authority established in 1989 to
provide California public agencies with professional investment services. The CAMP Pool is a
permitted investment for all local agencies under California Government Code Section 53601(p).
CAMP is directed by a Board of Trustees, which is made up of experienced local government
finance directors and treasurers.
CAMP investments are limited to investments permitted by subdivisions (a) to (n), inclusive, of
Section 53601 of the California Government Code. The City reports its investments in CAMP at
the fair value amounts provided by CAMP, which is the same as the value of the pool share in
accordance with GASB 79 requirements. At June 30, 2020, the fair value was approximate to the
City’s cost. At June 30, these investments had an average maturity of 53 days.
The City, as a CAMP shareholder, may withdraw all or any portion of the funds in its CAMP
account at any time by redeeming shares. The CAMP Declaration of Trust permits the CAMP
trustee to suspend the right of withdrawal from CAMP or to postpone the date of payment of
redemption proceeds if the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for customary
weekend and holiday closings, if trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, or if, in
the opinion of the CAMP trustees, an emergency exists such that disposal of the CAMP pool
securities or determination of its net asset value is not reasonably practicable. If the right of
withdrawal is suspended, the City may either withdraw its request for that withdrawal or receive
payment based on the net asset value of the CAMP pool next determined after termination of the
suspension of the right of withdrawal.

The County’s investment pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an
investment company. The pool has a credit rating of “AAA/V1.” Investments made by the Treasurer
are regulated by the California Government Code and by the County’s investment policy. The
objectives of the policy are in order of priority, safety, liquidity, yield, and public trust. The County
has established a treasury oversight committee to monitor and review the management of public
funds maintained in the investment pool in accordance with Article 6 Section 27131 of the California
Government Code. The oversight committee and the Board of Supervisors review and approve the
investment policy annually. The County Treasurer prepares and submits a comprehensive
investment report to the members of the oversight committee and the investment pool participants
every month. The report covers the types of investments in the pool, maturity dates, par value, actual
costs and fair value.

$45,485,000 bearing interest at rates from 4.00% to 5.00%. The proceeds of the bonds were
provided for replacement of two fire stations and construction of a public safety center. The

an amount sufficient to make payments on the Bonds. Interest on the Bonds is payable
semiannually on June 1 and December 1. Principal payable on the Bonds will be paid on June 1
starting on June 1, 2021. The Bonds maturing on or prior to June 1, 2028, are not subject to
optional redemption prior to their maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after June 1, 2029, are
subject to optional redemption as a whole or in part on any date after June 1, 2028, at the option
of the Authority, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds subject to
redemption, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
The Bonds are payable from any source of available funds of the City. The bond covenants
contain events of default that require the revenue of the City to be applied by the Trustee as
specified in the terms of the agreement if any of the following conditions occur: default on debt
service payments; the failure of the City to observe or perform the conditions, covenants, or
agreement terms of the debt; bankruptcy filing by the City; or if any court or competent

rates and lower annual debt service payments. The refunding resulted in a net present value

carrying amount of the old debt by $295,278. The Series 2012 Bonds are payable from lease
payments made by the City to the Authority for leasing the City facilities. The rights to these
lease payments have been irrevocably transferred by the Authority to the Trustee. Activities
related to the Series 2012 Bonds are reported in the Parking Services Enterprise Fund. Principal
payments are due annually on April 1 and interest is payable semiannually on October 1 and
April 1. The Bonds maturing on or prior to April 1, 2022, are not subject to optional redemption
prior to their maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after April 1, 2023, are subject to optional
redemption as a whole or in part on any date after April 1, 2022, at the option of the Authority, at
a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds subject to redemption, plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
The Bonds are payable from any source of available funds of the City. The bond covenants contain
events of default that require the revenue of the City to be applied by the Trustee as specified in the
terms of the agreement if any of the following conditions occur: default on debt service payments;
the failure of the City to observe or perform the conditions, covenants, or agreement terms of the
debt; bankruptcy filing by the City; or if any court or competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or
control of the City.

NOTE 7 - DEBT WITHOUT CITY COMMITMENT
A. Special Assessment Debt Without City Commitment
Special assessment districts have been established in various parts of the City to provide
improvements to properties located in those districts. Properties in these districts are assessed for
the cost of improvements; these assessments are payable solely by property owners over the term
of the debt issued to finance these improvements. The City is not legally or morally obligated to
pay these debts or be the purchaser of last resort of any foreclosed properties in these special
assessment districts, nor is it obligated to advance City funds to repay these debts in the event of
default by any of these districts. The City does act as an agent for the property owners and
bondholders and at June 30, 2020, the balances of these Districts’ outstanding debt were as
follows:

Pt. San Pedro Road Median Landscaping Pt. San Pedro Road
Assessment District Limited Obligation Bonds-2012 Median Landscaping $1,750,000 $1,315,100
B. Conduit Debt
The City has assisted private-sector entities by sponsoring their issuance of debt for purposes the
City deems to be in the public interest. These debt issues are secured solely by the property
financed by the debt. The City is not legally or morally obligated to pay these debts or be the
purchaser of last resort of any foreclosed properties secured by these debts, nor is it obligated to
advance City funds to repay these debts in the event of default by any of these issuers. At June

NOTE 8 - NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCE (Continued)
Net Investment in Capital Assets describes the portion of Net Position which is represented by the
current net book value of the City’s capital assets, less the outstanding balance of any debt issued
to finance these assets.
Restricted describes the portion of Net Position which is restricted to use by the terms and
conditions of agreements with outside parties, governmental regulations, laws, or other
restrictions which the City cannot unilaterally alter.
Unrestricted describes the portion of Net Position which is not restricted to use.
B. Fund Balance
In the fund financial statements, fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net
current assets generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities. The City’s
fund balances are classified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the City to classify its fund balances based on spending constraints imposed on the use of
resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in
the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each category in the
following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint:
Nonspendable represents balances set aside that do not represent available, spendable resources
even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained intact, such
as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids, loans
receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from the
sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then
Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors,
laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a
specific purpose. Nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable
resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by resolution of the City Council which may
be altered only by resolution of the City Council. Nonspendable amounts subject to Council
commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent that they be used for a
specific purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City
Manager, as designated by the City Council, and may be changed at the discretion of the City
Council or City Manager. This authorization is given through Resolution No. 13173 which
adopted the City’s Fund Balance Policy. This category includes nonspendables, when it is the
City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific purpose; and residual fund balances, if
any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds which have not been restricted
or committed.

NOTE 8 - NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCE (Continued)
C. Minimum Fund Balance Policy
The City Council adopted a General Fund Reserve Policy in November 2014 to establish target
reserve levels and the methodology for calculating reserve levels. The Policy also establishes
criteria for the use of reserves and a process to replenish reserves.
The Policy requires the City to strive to maintain the following fund balances:
1)Emergency and Cash Flow Reserve (10% minimum)
An emergency and cash flow reserve will be maintained for the purposes of (1) sustaining
General Fund operations in the case of a public emergency, such as a natural disaster or other
unforeseen catastrophic event; and (2) to cover sudden operating shortfalls caused by (a) a
severe drop in revenues that cannot be sufficiently offset by a corresponding reduction in
expenditures and/or other available resources, or (b) an unforeseen, unavoidable expenditure
that must be paid from the General Fund.
This reserve level is measured as a percentage of annual operating expenditures. Budgeted
operating expenditures are to be used for the purposes of budget allocations and projections,
and actual operating expenditures are to be used for the purpose of measuring this reserve at
fiscal year-end. This reserve may be expended only when the City Council determines by
resolution that such action is consistent with the purpose and intent of this policy.
In the event the balance in the Emergency and Cashflow Reserve falls below the minimum
level, the City Manager, shall recommend a plan to replenish the fund within a timeframe not
to exceed three years. This recommendation shall be approved by the City Council no later
than the time at which the next annual budget is adopted. Any variance from the stipulations
established within this policy shall require approval by the City Council along with a
statement of findings supporting the temporary or ongoing modification to this policy.
The required reserve was $8,042,891 at June 30, 2020 and the balance of the reserve,
included in the General Fund’s assigned fund balance was $7,800,643 at that date. The
balance of the reserve was less than the requirement because City Council approved the one-
time use of up to $721,542 of the reserve to offset the revenue strain caused by COVID-19 of
which $242,248 of the reserve was used during the year ended June 30, 2020. As noted
above, under the General Fund Reserve Policy, the balance of the reserve must be
replenished by June 30, 2023.
2)Measure E - Public Safety Facilities Reserve
In November 2013, the San Rafael voters passed Measure E, a three-quarter percent
transactions and use tax (TUT), effective April 1, 2014. On May 5, 2014, the City Council
directed staff to set aside one-quarter percent (or one-third of these tax proceeds) for the
purpose of public safety facility planning, construction and major improvements. This portion
of Measure E revenues are assigned to this reserve, so that they can be used later to directly
fund facility-related costs, or to cover debt service costs and payments associated with the
financing of these improvements.

NOTE 8 - NET POSITION AND FUND BALANCE (Continued)
The City Manager is directed to assign these funds (i.e., the one-quarter percent TUT) to this
reserve as they are received, and is authorized to expend these funds for qualified public
safety facility costs as described above. The City Manager shall report periodically to the
City Council on the status of these funds.
Since fiscal year 2017-2018, funds received each year continue to be fully expended for
qualified Public Safety facility costs and as of June 30, 2020 the reserve balance in the
General Fund was $0.
3)Other Facilities and Infrastructure
The purpose of the infrastructure assigned reserve is to accumulate funds to be used for the
purpose of non-public safety facility construction and major improvements (e.g., library,
administrative and non-safety buildings, streets and the stormwater system). This was
$600,000 at June 30, 2020.
The General Plan/Long Range Planning reserve included in the General Fund’s assigned fund
balance was $1,315,042 at June 30, 2020 which is specifically assigned to the City’s General
Plan, a state required plan that must address eight topic areas – Neighborhoods, Community
Design, Economic Vitality, Infrastructure, Governance, Culture and Arts, Parks and
Recreation and Air and Water Quality.
NOTE 9 - PENSION PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City’s defined benefit retirement plan is administered by the Marin County Employees’
Retirement Association (MCERA), a retirement system established in July 1950 and governed by
the California Constitution; the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 (CERL or 1937 Act,
California government Code Section 31450 et seq.); the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act
of 2013 (PEPRA, Government Code Section 7522); the provisions of California Government
Code Section 7500 et seq; and the bylaws, procedures, and policies adopted by MCERA’s Board
of Retirement. The Marin County Board of Supervisors may also adopt resolutions, as permitted
by the CERL and PEPRA, which may affect the benefits of MCERA members.
MCERA operates as a cost-sharing multiple employer defined benefit plan for the City and eight
other participating employers: County of Marin, Local Agency Formation Commission
(LAFCO), Marin City Community Services District, Marin County Superior Court,
Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District, Novato Fire Protection District, Southern
Marin Fire Protection District and Tamalpais Community Services District. Separate actuarial
valuations are performed for these other agencies and districts, and the responsibility for funding
their plans rest with those entities. Post-retirement benefits are administered by MCERA to
qualified retirees.
Copies of MCERA’s annual financial reports, which include required supplementary information
(RSI) for the plan may be obtained from their office at One McInnis Parkway, Suite 100, San
Rafael, CA 94903 or online at www.mcera.org.

B. Benefit Provisions
Service Retirement: MCERA’s service retirement benefits are based on the years of credited
service, final average compensation, and age at retirement, according to the applicable statutory
formula. Members who qualify for service retirement are entitled to receive monthly retirement
benefits for life.
General members hired prior to January 1, 2013 are eligible to retire once they attain the age of
50 (except Misc Tier 2, whereby the minimum age is 55) and have acquired 10 or more years of
retirement service credit. A member with 30 years of service is eligible to retire regardless of age.
A member who is age 70 or older is eligible to retire regardless of service credit. General
members who are first hired on or after January 1, 2013 are eligible to retire once they have
attained the age of 52, and have acquired 5 years of retirement service credit, or age 70,
regardless of service.
Safety members hired prior to January 1, 2013 are eligible to retire once they attain the age of 50
and have acquired 10 or more years of retirement service credit. A member with 20 years of
service is eligible to retire regardless of age. A member who is age 70 or older is eligible to retire
regardless of service. Safety members who are first hired on or after January 1, 2013 are eligible
to retire once they have attained the age of 50, and have acquired 5 years of retirement service
credit, or age 70, regardless of service.
Disability Retirement: A member with five years of service, regardless of age, who becomes
permanently incapacitated for the performance of duty is eligible to apply for a non-service
connected disability retirement. Any member who becomes permanently incapacitated for the
performance of duty as a result of injury or disease arising out of and in the course of
employment is eligible to apply for a service-connected disability retirement, regardless of
service length or age.
Death Benefits: MCERA provides specified death benefits to beneficiaries and members’
survivors. The death benefits provided depend on whether the member is active or retired. The
basic active member death benefit consists of a members’ retirement contributions plus interest
plus one month’s pay for each full year of service (up to a maximum of six month’s pay).
Retiring members may choose from five retirement benefit payment options. Most retirees elect
to receive the unmodified allowance which provides the maximum benefit to the retiree and
continuance of 60% of the retiree’s allowance to the surviving spouse or registered domestic
partner after the retiree’s death. Other death benefits may be available based on the years of
service, marital status, and whether the member has minor children.
Cost of Living Adjustment: Retirement allowances are indexed for inflation. Most retirees receive
automatic basic cost of living adjustments (COLA’s) based upon the Urban Consumer Price
Index (UCPI) for the San Francisco Bay Area. These adjustments go into effect on April 1 of
each year. Annual COLA increases are statutorily capped at 2%, 3%, or 4% depending upon the
member’s retirement tier. When the UCPI exceeds the maximum statutory COLA for the
member’s tier, the difference is accumulated for use in future years when the UCPI is less than
the maximum statutory COLA. The accumulated percentage carryover is known as the COLA
Bank.

C. Funding Policy
The funding policy of MCERA provides for actuarially determined periodic contributions by the
City at rates such that sufficient assets will be available to pay plan benefits when due. The
employer rates for normal cost are determined using the Entry Age Normal Actuarial Cost
Method, which takes into account those benefits that are expected to be earned in the future as
well as those already accrued.
The City contribution rates for the year ended June 30, 2020 were as follows:
Employer Employee
Contribution Rate Contribution Rate Benefit Basis
City of San Rafael Misc Tier 1 50.93%0.00% - 16.13% 2.7% @ 55 Highest year

City of San Rafael Safety Police Tier 2 69.28% 11.40% - 17.36% 3.0% @ 55 Average three highest years
PEPRA Misc 42.84% 9.22% 2.0% @ 62 Average three highest years
PEPRA Safety 59.13%14.43% 2.7% @ 57 Average three highest years
These rates were determined by MCERA, based on the actuarial valuation dated June 30, 2018.
The actual rate of return on investments during that year was 9.65% on a market value basis net
of investment expenses, as compared to the prior year’s 7.00% assumption.
The City uses the actuarially determined percentages of payroll to calculate and pay contributions
to MCERA. Contributions to the plan from the City were $20,031,614 for the year ended June 30,
2020, based on a total payroll of $43,506,444, of which $32,887,922 represented the basis for the
plan contributions. Of the total payroll subject to plan contributions, $1,377,621 is attributable to
the San Rafael Sanitation District (SRSD), a component unit of the City.
Effective with the June 30, 2013 valuation, the Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) as of June
30, 2013 is being amortized over a closed 17-year period (12 years remaining as of June 30,
2018), except for the additional UAL attributable to the outstanding unfunded actuarial loss from
2009, which is being amortized over a separate closed period (currently 20 years).
Effective with the June 30, 2014 valuation, any new sources of UAL due to actuarial gains and
losses or method changes are amortized over a closed 24-year period, with a 5-year ramp up
period at the beginning of the period, a 4-year ramp down at the end of the period, and 15 years of
level payments as a percentage of payroll between the ramping periods. This amortization method
for gains and losses is similar to a 20-year amortization period with level payments as a
percentage of payroll, in conjunction with a traditional 5-year asset smoothing.
Assumption changes are amortized over a closed 22-year period, with a 3-year ramp up period, 2-
year ramp down period, and 17 years of level payments as a percentage of payroll.

D. Pension Liability and Pension Expense
The City’s net pension liability (NPL) has been determined for the financial reporting period
ended June 30, 2020 based on the following methodology: The City’s NPL as of June 30, 2018
was updated to the measurement date of June 30, 2019 using the actual City’s plan assets as of
June 30, 2019 and estimating the change in the City’s liabilities between July 1, 2018 and June
30, 2019. This estimate is based on a projection of the City’s long-term contributions to the
pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers.
The resulting NPL for the City under this calculation is $133,877,531, or 36.6081% of the total
MCERA NPL of $365,704,670 (reference MCERA’s GASB 67/68 report as of June 30, 2019).
This compares to the previous year’s NPL of $110,567,858, or 34.4752% of the total MCERA
NPL of $330,297,827 (reference MCERA’s GASB 67/68 report as of June 30, 2018).
In addition to the reporting of the NPL as of June 30, 2020, the City reported deferred inflows of
$22,558,119 and deferred outflows of $21,856,007 as of the measurement date June 30, 2019.
The City reported post-measurement date outflows of $20,031,614 from actual fiscal year 2019-
2020 pension contributions. Deferred outflows include deferred investment gains and adjustments
to assumptions based on actual positive results. Deferred outflows have a positive impact on net
assets (offsetting the NPL) and will be recognized in future reporting periods. Deferred inflows
include deferred investment losses, adjustments to assumptions based on actual negative results,
and contributions made after the measurement date. Deferred inflows have a negative impact on
net assets (similar to the NPL) and will be recognized in future reporting periods. The net impact
of these pension liability related entries on the City’s Statement of Net Position before allocations
to the San Rafael Sanitation District was $114,548,029. After allocations to the San Rafael
Sanitation District, the net impact on the City’s Statement of Net Position was $110,826,041.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the City’s pension expense is based on the Plan’s
pension expense, adjusted for the City’s actual contributions and net pension liability.
Three components are used to calculate pension expense: (1) changes in the net pension liability;
(2)changes in benefit terms (if any): and (3) changes in actuarial assumptions and experience.
Pension expense is calculated using a different methodology than that used to derive the
actuarially determined annual contribution to the Plan. Actual pension contributions during the
reporting year were $20,031,614. Because pension expense is affected by annual changes in the
net pension liability, volatility is to be expected. For the current measurement period, investment
returns above the assumed rate were responsible for the decrease in net pension liability and had a
corresponding impact on pension expense.

Summary of Results
Projection of Total Pension Liability and Net Pension Liability
Total Pension Liability (TPL) is the actuarial present value of projected benefit payments
attributed to past periods of employee service. MCERA and the City have adopted a measurement
date of June 30, 2019. The beginning of year measurement of TPL is based on the actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2018. The TPL at the end of the measurement year, June 30, 2019, is also
measured as of the valuation date of June 30, 2018 and projected to June 30, 2019.
The Plan Fiduciary Net Position (FNP) is the fair or market value of assets. The FNP at the
beginning of the year is based on the actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2018. The FNP at the end
of the measurement year, June 30, 2019, is also measured as of the valuation date of
June 30, 2018 and projected to June 30, 2019.

NOTE 9 - PENSION PLAN (Continued)
The Net Pension Liability (NPL) is the City’s liability for benefits provided through its defined
benefit plan administered by MCERA. It is calculated by reducing the TPL by the FNP. The long-
term portion of the governmental activities’ NPL is liquidated primarily by the General Fund.
Actuarial assumptions:
The total pension liability as of June 30, 2019 (measurement date) was determined by an actuarial
valuation as of June 30, 2018, using the following actuarial assumptions applied to all prior periods
included in the measurement. The key assumptions in the valuation were:
Expected Return on Assets 7.00 percent per year, net of investment expenses
Discount Rate 7.00 percent per year
Price Inflation 2.75% per year
Salary Increases 3% per year plus merit component based on employee classification
and years of service.
Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses in the actuarial valuation are assumed to be
$5.065 million for FY 2018-19, to be split between employees and
employers based on their share of the overall contributions.
Administrative expenses shown in this report are based on the actual
FY 2018-19 amounts.
Post-Retirement COLA Post-retirement COLAs are assumed at a rate of 2.7% for members
with a 4% COLA cap, 2.6% for members with a 3% COLA cap, and
1.9% for members with a 2% COLA cap.
Mortality Rates for Rates of mortality for active members are specified by CalPERS 2017
Healthy Members Pre-Retirement Non-Industrial Death Rates (plus Duty-Related Death
and Inactives rates for Safety members), with the 15-year static projection used by
CalPERS replaced by generational improvements from a base year of
2014 using Scale MP-2017.
Mortality Rates for Rates of mortality among disabled members are given by CalPERS 2017
Retired Disabled Disability Mortality rates (Non-Industrial rates for Miscellaneous members
Members and Industrial Disability rates for Safety members), adjusted by 90% for
Males (Miscellaneous and Safety) and 90% for Miscellaneous Females,

Asset Allocation Policy and Expected Long-Term Rate of Return by Asset Class
The Board of Retirement has adopted an Investment Policy Statement (IPS), which provides the
framework for the management of MCERA’s investments. The IPS establishes MCERA’s
investment objectives and defines the principal duties of the Retirement Board, the custodian bank,
and the investment managers. The asset allocation plan is an integral part of the IPS and is designed
to provide an optimum and diversified mix of asset classes with return expectations to satisfy
expected liabilities while minimizing risk exposure. MCERA currently employs external investment
managers to manage its assets subject to the provisions of the policy. Plan assets are managed on a
total return basis with a long term objective of achieving and maintaining a fully funded status for
the benefits provided through the Plan. The following was the Retirement Board’s adopted asset
allocation policy as of June 30, 2019:
Long-Term
Expected Rate
Target Long-Term Expected of Return
Asset Class Allocation Real Rate of Return (with the effect of inflation)
Domestic Equity 32% 4.90% 7.65%
International Equity 22% 5.00% 7.75%
Fixed Income 23% 1.50% 4.25%
Public Real Assets 7% 3.65% 6.40%
Real Estate 8% 4.00% 6.75%
Private Equity 8% 6.25% 9.00%
Total 100%
The Long-Term returns are calculated using a 10-year geometric return derived from arithmetic
returns and the associated risk (standard deviation).
Determination of Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the Total Pension Liability was 7.00%. Related to the discount
rate is the funding assumption that employees will continue to contribute to the plan at the required
rates and employers will continue the historical and legally required practice of contributing to the
plan based on an actuarially determined contribution, reflecting a payment equal to annual normal
cost, a portion of the expected administrative expenses, an amortization payment for the
extraordinary losses from 2009 amortized over a closed period (20 years remaining as of the June
30, 2018 actuarial valuation), and an amount necessary to amortize the remaining Unfunded
Actuarial Liability as a level percentage of payroll over a closed period (12 years remaining as of
the June 30, 2018 actuarial valuation).
A change in the discount rate would affect the measurement of the TPL. A lower discount rate
results in a higher TPL and higher discount rates results in a lower TPL. Because the discount rate
does not affect the measurement of assets, the percentage change in the NPL can be significant for a
relatively small change in the discount rate. A one percent decrease in the discount rate increases
the TPL by approximately 13% and increases the NPL by approximately 106%. A one percent
increase in the discount rate decreases the TPL by approximately 11% and decreases the NPL by
approximately 87%.

NOTE 10 - PUBLIC AGENCY RETIREMENT SYSTEM (DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
RETIREMENT PLAN)
The City contributes to the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which administers a defined
contribution retirement plan. A defined contribution retirement plan provides retirement benefits in
return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how
contributions to the individual’s accounts are determined instead of specifying the amount of
benefits the individual is to receive. The benefits a participant will receive depend on the amount
contributed to the participant’s account, and the returns earned on investments on those
contributions. The Plan’s trust administrator is Phase II, P.O. Box 12919, Newport Beach,
California 92658.
As established by the plan, all eligible part-time and temporary employees of the City become
participants in the plan from the date that they are hired. An eligible employee is any employee
who, at any time during which the employer maintains this plan, is not accruing a benefit under the
Marin County Employees’ Retirement Fund.
As determined by the plan, each employee must contribute 3.75% of gross earnings to the plan. The
City contributes an additional 3.75% of the employee’s gross earnings. Contributions made by an
employee and the employer vest immediately.
During the year, the City and employees each contributed $105,676. The total covered payroll of
employees participating in the plan for the year ended June 30, 2020, was $2,818,030.

Position measured as of June 30, 2019, using an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 2019. The
following actuarial assumptions were used in the valuation: (a) 6.75% investment rate of return and
(b) 2.75% of general inflation increase, and (c) a healthcare trend of declining annual increases
ranging from 7.5% in 2020 to 4.0% for the years starting 2076. In addition, the fixed dollar benefit
amounts are assumed to be held flat in the future and the premium related benefits are assumed to
increase with the healthcare trend rate.

NOTE 11 - POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS (Continued)
The actuarial assumptions used in the June 30, 2019 valuation were based on the results of an
actuarial experience study for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-
block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of OPEB plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These
ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighing the expected
future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation.
The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class
are summarized in the following table:

Expected Long-Term Net Rate of Return 6.75%

The Expected Long-Term Rate of Return is provided by CalPERS’ Strategic Asset Allocation
Overview in August 2014 – Strategy 1.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability was 6.75%. The projection of cash flows
used to determine the discount rate assumed that City contributions will be made at rates equal to
the actuarially determined contribution rates. Based on these assumptions, the OPEB plan's
fiduciary net position was projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments and the
plan assets are expected to be invested using the strategy to achieve the expected return.

refunding bonds were issued at a premium of $934,832 above their par value of $18,575,000.
These bonds mature annually through 2021 and bear interest from 2% to 4%. Similar to the
original bonds, the refunding bonds are special obligations of MERA and are secured by the
Members’ service payments. One February 1, 2007, MERA borrowed $2,250,000 from Citizens
Business Bank. The note is being amortized over 14 ½ years at an annual interest rate of 4.43%.
Loan Payments are funded by member operating payments. The costs of maintenance, operation,
and debt service are divided on a pro rata share based on an agreed-upon formula established by a
majority of the Governing Board. The members entered into a Project Operating Agreement on
February 1, 1999.
Under the Operating Agreement, members are obligated to contribute service payments to cover
the Authority’s operations and debt service. The City’s portion of the obligation is 16.913%. The
first operating service payment was in July 1999. The first debt service payment was in August
2002. The City contributed $688,083 of the Authority’s operation and debt service for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2020. The City has established a reserve in its internal service funds to pay
future service payments. Financial statements of the MERA can be obtained at 95 Rowland Way,
Novato, California 94945.
D.The Marin Telecommunications Agency
The Agency was established to regulate the rates for cable television service and equipment and
to advise the participants of their license authority. The Governing Board of the Marin
Telecommunications Agency consists of one member from each of the ten participating agencies.
As of June 30, 2020, the member agencies have adopted an ordinance to terminate the Agency
and a resolution to authorize the MGSA to collect franchise and Public, Education, and
Government access fees previously collected by the Agency. On May 14, 2020, the MGSA
adopted a resolution accepting the assignment of agreements from the Agency to affect the
transfer of program responsibilities to MGSA July 1, 2020. The City’s contribution to the Agency
was $65,164 for the year ended June 30, 2020. Financial statements of the Agency can be

F. Central Marin Sanitation Agency (CMSA)
In October 1979, the District entered into a joint powers agreement with three neighboring
sanitation agencies in central Marin County forming the Central Marin Sanitation Agency
(CMSA). CMSA serves as a regional wastewater treatment plant for its four member agencies
and San Quentin Prison (SQ) and is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, two
appointed by the Board of Directors of the District, two appointed by the governing board of the
Ross Valley Sanitary District, and one appointed by the governing board of Sanitary District No.
(SD 2).
Total project costs for the joint venture were funded from federal (75%) and state (12.5%) clean
water grants and from local shares (12.5% total) allocated among the member agencies and SQ
based upon the weighted average of the strength and volume of sewage flows per member at
inception of the project. CMSA derives its annual funding for its operations and capital programs
almost exclusively from service charges to member agencies. The joint powers agreement does
not provide an explicit measurable right as required to establish an equity interest for any of the
joint venture participants, and in addition to, stipulates that all excess capital funds, if any, and all
excess administration, operations and maintenance funds from whatever source, if any, are the
property of CMSA.
The financial statements of the CMSA are available at the CMSA office at 1301 Anderson Drive,
San Rafael, CA 94901 and online at www.cmsa.us.
NOTE 13 - RISK MANAGEMENT
A. City
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City established the
Risk Management Internal Service Fund to account for and finance its uninsured risks of loss.
The City manages risk by participating in a public entity risk pool (described below), purchasing
insurance and by retaining certain risks.
Risk Coverage
Liability Coverage
The City is a member of the California Joint Powers Risk Management Authority (CJPRMA)
which covers general liability claims up to $40,000,000. The purpose of CJPRMA is to spread the
adverse effects of general liability losses among the member agencies. The City also purchases
commercial insurance for property damage claims with an insured amount of $114,220,740. The
City is self-insured up to $500,000 for each general liability claim and $25,000 for each property
damage claim. Once the self-insured retention is met CJPRMA becomes responsible for payment
of all liability claims up to the limit. The City contributed a total of $441,334 in liability coverage
premiums during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Five years after settlement of all general
liability claims for a program year, CJPRMA will retroactively adjust premium deposits for any
excess or deficiency in deposits related to paid claims and reserves. Financial statements for the
risk pool may be obtained from CJPRMA at 3201 Doolan Road, Suite 285, Livermore, California

Workers’ Compensation Coverage
The City purchases insurance for workers’ compensation through Safety National Casualty
Corporation Excess Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance with coverage up
to statutory limits. The City is self-insured up to $1,000,000 for each worker’s compensation
claim.
Insurance Internal Service Funds and Financial Reporting
The City records estimated liabilities for claims filed up to the amounts for which it retains risk in
the General Liability and Workers Compensation Internal Service Funds. Charges to the General
Fund and other funds are based on relative general liability and workers compensation risk
associated with the activities of each fund. Charges are recorded in the funds as expenditures or
expenses and as revenues in the respective internal service funds.
Generally accepted accounting principles require municipalities to record the liability for
uninsured claims and to reflect the current portion of this liability as an expenditure in the
financial statements. As discussed above, the City has coverage for such claims, but it has
retained the risk for the deductible or uninsured portion of these claims.
The City’s liability for uninsured general liability claims and workers’ compensation claims,
including claims incurred but not reported, are reported in the Statements of Net Position. The
City’s present value liability for uninsured claims below include a provision for claims incurred
but not reported using a discount rate of 2%.

C.District
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction
of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees and natural disaster. The District
participates in a joint powers agreement with other entities forming the California Sanitation Risk
Management Authority (CSRMA), a public entity risk pool operating as a common risk
management and insurance program for 60 member entities. CSRMA is governed by a Board of
Directors composed of one representative from each member agency and meets three times per
year in conjunction with conferences of the California Association of Sanitation Agencies. The
Board controls the operations of CSRMA, including selection of management and approval of
operating budgets, independent of any influence by member entities.
The District pays annual premiums to CSRMA for its primary insurance and property insurance
programs. Primary and property insurance programs are fully insured wherein CSRMA
purchases insurance as a group thereby reducing its costs. CSMRA provides both fully insured
and pooled insurance programs for its participating member entities. Because all employees of
the District are contracted employees from the City of San Rafael, workers’ compensation
insurance is not carried by the District but is provided through the City.
CSRMA’s primary and property insurance programs transfer risk to commercial insurance
policies for claims above deductibles, while the District retains risk for claims to the extent of
deductibles. Settled claims for the District have not exceeded coverage provided by CSRMA in
any of the past three fiscal years.
The following summarizes active insurance policies as of June 30, 2020 together with coverage

A.City Litigation
The City is a defendant in several lawsuits arising from its normal operations. City management
is of the opinion that the potential claims against the City not covered by insurance resulting from
such litigation would not materially affect the basic financial statements of the City.
B.District
As of June 30, 2020, SRSD had several contracts for sewer improvement projects with remaining
obligations of approximately $2,830,000, the majority of which are expected to be completed
within the 2020-2021 fiscal year.
NOTE 15 - SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PRIVATE-PURPOSE
TRUST FUND (SUCCESSOR AGENCY) ACTIVITIES
A. Redevelopment Dissolution
In an effort to mitigate its budget deficit, the State of California adopted ABx1 26 on June 28,
2011, amended by AB1484 on June 27, 2012, which suspended all new redevelopment activities
except for limited specified activities as of that date and dissolved redevelopment agencies on
January 31, 2012.
The suspension provisions prohibited all redevelopment agencies from a wide range of activities,
including incurring new indebtedness or obligations, entering into or modifying agreements or
contracts, acquiring or disposing of real property, taking actions to adopt or amend
redevelopment plans and other similar actions, except actions required by law or to carry out
existing enforceable obligations, as defined in ABx1 26.
In addition, ABx1 26 and AB1484 directed the State Controller to review the activities of all
redevelopment agencies and successor agencies to determine whether an asset transfer between
an agency and any public agency occurred on or after January 1, 2011. If an asset transfer did
occur and the public agency that received the asset is not contractually committed to a third party
for the expenditure or encumbrance of the asset, the legislation requires the State Controller to
order the asset returned to the redevelopment agency. This review was performed in May 2013,
and a report issued on July 29, 2013 (see section B of this footnote).
The City elected to become the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency, and on
February 1, 2012, the Redevelopment Agency’s remaining net assets were distributed to the
Successor Agency. ABx1 26 requires the establishment of an Oversight Board to oversee the
activities of the Successor Agency and one was established on April 2, 2012. On July 1, 2018, the
County of Marin formed a county-wide Oversight Board to oversee the activities of all Successor
Agencies within the County, including San Rafael. The activities of the Successor Agency are
subject to review and approval of the Oversight Board, which is comprised of seven members.
The activities of the Successor Agency are reported in the Successor Agency to the
Redevelopment Agency Private-Purpose Trust Fund as the activities are under the control of the
Oversight Board. The City provides administrative services to the Successor Agency to wind
down the affairs of the former Redevelopment Agency.

TRUST FUND (SUCCESSOR AGENCY) ACTIVITIES (Continued)
Pursuant to the dissolution of the City of San Rafael Redevelopment Agency, certain assets of the
Redevelopment Agency were distributed to the Housing Successor and all remaining
Redevelopment Agency assets and liabilities were distributed to the Successor Agency.
The City elected to become the Housing Successor and on February 1, 2012. Assets and
Liabilities relating to the Housing Successor are reported in the City’s Low and Moderate Income
Housing Special Revenue Fund.
B. Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF)
The Successor Agency’s primary source of revenue comes from the RPTTF allocation distributed
by the County. Property tax revenues for each Project Area are deposited into the RPTTF, which
redistributes each Project Area’s tax increment under specified formulas. The County Auditor
administers the RPTTF and disburses twice annually from this fund pass-through payments to
affected taxing entities, an amount equal to the total of obligation payments that are required to be
paid from tax increment as denoted on the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”).
The disbursements are established in the treasury of the Successor Agencies, and various allowed
administrative fees and allowances. Any remaining balance is then distributed by the County
Auditor back to affected taxing entities under a prescribed method that accounts for pass-through
payments. The County Auditor is also responsible for the distributing other monies received from
the Successor Agency (from sale of assets, etc.) to the affected taxing entities. Successor agencies
in turn will use the amounts deposited into their respective funds to make payments for principal
and interest on loans and monies advanced to or indebtedness incurred by the dissolved
redevelopment agencies.
C. Long-Term Debt
1999 Tax Allocation Bonds and Capital Appreciation Bonds
On June 16, 1999, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Bonds in the amount of $23,504,004.
The bonds were issued as Current Interest Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of
$21,115,000 and as Capital Appreciation Bonds in the original amount of $2,389,004. The
proceeds of the bonds were used to finance certain redevelopment activities of benefit to the
former Agency’s Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project Area.
In December 2009 of the former Agency exercised the redemption option of the Current Interest
Bonds. The outstanding balance of the Bonds was refunded, on a current basis, through the
issuance of the 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds as discussed below.
The Capital Appreciation Bonds mature annually after December 1 from 2018 to 2022, in
amounts ranging from $1,440,000 to $2,070,000 and bear interest at rates from 5.58% to 5.60%.
Interest on the Capital Appreciation Bonds will compound on each interest premium date and will
be payable solely at maturity. The bonds are secured, on parity with the 1992 and 1995 bonds
(refunded in 2002), by a pledge and a lien on tax revenues and amounts on deposit in certain
funds and accounts held by the fiscal agent.

2002 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On October 9, 2002, the former Agency issued Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the amount of
$25,020,000. The proceeds of the bonds were used to refund the 1992 Tax Allocation Refunding
Bonds and the 1995 Tax Allocation Bonds. The Bonds mature annually each December 1 from
2002 to 2022, in amounts ranging from $540,000 to $1,920,000 and bear interest at rates ranging
from 2.00% to 5.25%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. The Bonds
maturing on or after December 1, 2013, are subject to optional redemption prior to maturity, in
whole or in part, and by lot within any one maturity, prior to their respective maturity dates, on
any date on or after December 1, 2012, at a price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued
interest on the redemption date. The bonds are payable from tax revenues to be derived from the
redevelopment activities of the former Agency related to the Central San Rafael Redevelopment
Project Area.
2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds
On December 14, 2009, the former Agency issued 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds in the
amount of $14,660,000 bearing interest at rates from 3.00% to 5.00%. The proceeds of the Series
2009 Bonds were used to refund the former Agency’s 1999 Tax Allocation Current Interest
Bonds and to advance funds to the City to finance street and parking improvements for the benefit
of the Agency’s Central San Rafael Redevelopment Project. Principal payments are due annually
on December 30 and interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 30.
The Series 2009 Bonds maturing on or before December 1, 2019, are not subject to optional
redemption prior to their respective stated maturities. The Series 2009 Bonds maturing on or
after December 1, 2020, are subject to optional redemption as a whole or in part either on a pro
rata basis among maturities or in inverse order of maturity, and by lot within any one maturity,
prior to their respective maturity dates, at the option of the Agency, on any date on or after
December 1, 2019, at a price equal to the principal amount of such Series 2009 Bonds called for
redemption, together with interest accrued on the date fixed for redemption, without premium.
Use of Tax Increment
The former Agency pledged all future tax increment revenues for the repayment of the 1999
Capital Appreciation Bonds, and the 2002 and 2009 Tax Allocation Refunding Bonds. The
pledge of all future tax increment revenues ends upon repayment of $10.1 million in remaining
debt service on the Bonds, which is scheduled to occur in 2023. For fiscal year June 30, 2020,
tax increment revenue amounted to $3.9 million which was used to make the debt service
payment of $3.8 million. The bond covenants contain events of default that require the revenue of
the Agency to be applied by the Trustee as specified in the terms of the agreement if any of the
following conditions occur: default on debt service payments; the failure of the Agency to
observe or perform the conditions, covenants, or agreement terms of the debt; bankruptcy filing
by the Agency; or if any court or competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the
Agency. The Agency’s bonds also contain a subjective acceleration clause that allows the trustees
or holders, who hold the majority of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, to accelerate
payment of the entire principal amount outstanding and interest accrued to become immediately
due if they determine that a material adverse change occurs.

The State Constitution requires property to be assessed at one hundred percent of the most recent purchase price, plus an increment of no more than two percent annually, plus any local over-rides.
These values are considered to be full market values.
California cities do not set their own direct tax rate. The state constitution establishes the rate at 1% and allocates a portion of that amount, by an annual calculation, to all the taxing entities within
a tax rate area.

(1) In 1978, California voters passed Proposition 13 which set the property tax rate at a 1.00% fixed amount. This 1.00% is shared by all taxing agencies for which the
subject property resides within. In addition to the 1.00% fixed amount, property owners are charged taxes as a percentage of assessed property values for the payment of
any voter approved bonds.

COMPUTATION OF LEGAL BONDED DEBT MARGIN
June 30, 2020
California Government Code, Section 43605 sets the debt limit at 15%. The Code section was enacted prior to the change in
basing assessed value to full market value when it was previously 25% of market value. Thus, the limit shown as 3.75% is
one-fourth of that value.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON
APPLYING AGREED UPON PROCEDURES FOR
COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROPOSITION 111
2020-2021 APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT INCREMENT
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
We have performed the procedures below, which were agreed to by the City of San Rafael, on the
Appropriations Limit Worksheet (Worksheet) for the year ended June 30, 2021. The City’s management is
responsible for the Worksheet. These procedures, which were suggested by the League of California Cities
and presented in their Article XIIIB Appropriations Limitation Uniform Guidelines, were performed solely
to assist you in meeting the requirements of Section 1.5 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. The
sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the City. Consequently, we make no
representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which
this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
The procedures and associated findings were as follows:
A. We obtained the Worksheet (Exhibit A to the Resolution) and determined that the 2020-2021
Appropriations Limit of $143,208,909 and annual adjustment factors were adopted by Resolution of
the City Council. We also determined that the population and inflation options were selected by a
recorded vote of the City Council. However, the Resolution indicated that the change in the
population of San Rafael was selected, but the Worksheet shows that the larger change in the
population of Marin County was used for the calculation of the 2020-2021 Appropriation Limit.
B. We recomputed the 2020-2021 Appropriations Limit by multiplying the 2019-2020 Prior Year
Appropriations Limit by the Total Growth Factor. We recomputed the Total Growth Factor by
multiplying the population option by the inflation option.
C. For the Worksheet, we agreed the Per Capita Income Factor, Change in Assessment Roll for
Nonresidential Construction Factor, City Population Factor and County Population Factor to
California State Department of Finance Worksheets.
This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We were not engaged to and did
not conduct an examination or review, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or
conclusion, respectively, on the Worksheet. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion.
Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have
been reported to you.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the City Council and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than those specified parties; however, this
restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
To the City Council of
the City of San Rafael, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of San Rafael for the year ended June 30, 2020
and have issued our report thereon dated November 9, 2020. Our opinions on the basic financial
statements and this report, insofar as they relate to San Rafael Sanitation District (District), are based
solely on the report of other auditors. In planning and performing our audit of the basic financial
statements of the City, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, we considered the City’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for
designing our auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing
our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and therefore material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified. In addition, because of inherent limitations in internal control, including the possibility of
management override of controls, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected by
such controls. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be significant deficiencies.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. We
did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance. We consider the deficiencies in internal control included on the Schedule of Significant
Deficiencies to be significant deficiencies.
Included in the Schedule of Other Matters are recommendations not meeting the above definitions that we
believe are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency.
Management’s written responses included in this report have not been subjected to the audit procedures
applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.

MEMORANDUM ON INTERNAL CONTROL
SCHEDULE OF SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES
2020-01 Documentation of Review of Changes to the Vendor Database
Accounts payable staff should not normally have access to make changes to the Vendor Database. In the
event the system does not allow such a segregation of duties, changes to the Vendor Database should be
reviewed and approved by a person who is not making changes to the database, so that two employees are
involved in the process of adding, removing, or modifying vendor information.
We noted that more than one staff charged with processing accounts payable has access to the vendor
database. We also understand that the City has a process for reviewing the changes made to the vendor
database on a quarterly basis, however, the review process is not documented.
We understand City staff did not realize that the review process should be documented.
Without an independent review, the City is exposed to the risk of phantom vendors and unauthorized
changes to vendor accounts.
The City should develop procedures to document the quarterly review and approval of change to the
vendor database in some formal manner.
Management’s Response:
Finance Management reviews changes made to the Vendor Database on a quarterly basis in order
to detect phantom vendors and unauthorized changes to vendor accounts. Management reviews a
report in Eden, the City’s Financial System. Going forward, to formalize the review process, the
report will be printed to PDF and signed by the reviewer.
2020-02 Documentation of Review of Eden Employee Audit Reports
Payroll staff should not normally have access to make any changes to the Payroll Database. In the event
the system does not allow such a segregation of duties, changes to the Payroll Database should be
reviewed and approved by a person who is not making the changes to the database, so that two employees
are involved in the process of adding, removing, or modifying employee information.
We noted that although the Human Resources Department is tasked with making changes to the Payroll
Database, more than one staff charged with processing payroll in the Finance Department has access to
edit base pay, incentives, and benefits in the payroll database.
To mitigate the control risk, we understand that the City has a process to review the employee audit
reports each pay period for accuracy and to ensure no unauthorized changes were made to the employee
database. However, we selected three pay periods (November 15, 2019, January 31, 2020 and May 15,
2020) for testing of review of the employee audit report and noted that there was no documentation of the
review.

2020-02 Documentation of Review of Eden Employee Audit Reports (Continued)
We understand City staff did not realize that the review process should be documented. However,
without proper documentation of the review process, we cannot determine if the above internal control
procedure is in place.
The City should develop procedures to document the review of employee audit reports in some formal
manner.
Management’s Response:

2020-03 Cash Collection Procedures – Parking Department
Parking Department employees that are tasked with collecting cash receipts should use individually
assigned login credentials when performing any receipting transactions so that collection activity can be
identified by employee.
During our review of the cash collection procedures at the Parking Department, we noted that employees
who collect cash receipts do not log out of their assigned login credentials when they take breaks
throughout the day. We also noted that the other employees who collect cash receipts may use other
employees’ unique assigned login while covering for the employee during their break, without logging
out and using their own assigned login credentials.
We understand Parking Department staff did not realize that they should log out of the system when
leaving for breaks.
The Parking Department should develop procedures to ensure that employees tasked with collecting cash
receipts use their own assigned login credentials when performing any receipting transactions at all times
so inconsistencies can be identified by employee, if necessary.
Management’s Response:
Finance Management agrees and will work with the Parking Department to develop guidance and
explanation on the importance of this control. Finance Management will also recommend
disciplinary action to the Parking Department should staff not follow this control.

2020-04 Health and Safety Code Expenditure Limitations and Reporting Requirements for
the Housing Successor
Senate Bill No. 341 was approved on October 13, 2013 and amended and added to the Health and Safety
Code (HSC) effective January 1, 2014 to change provisions relating to the functions performed by a
Housing Successor. The amendments to HSC Section 34176 were minor and primarily included defining
the “entity that assumed the housing functions of a former redevelopment agency” as the Housing
Successor.
HSC Section 34176.1 imposes spending limitations and reporting requirements related to the housing
assets of the former Redevelopment Agency held by the Housing Successor. HSC Section 34176.1 states
that the Housing Successor must submit an annual progress report for the prior fiscal year to the
Department of Housing and Community Development by April 1 each year and that report must also be
posted to the City’s website.
The City serves as Housing Successor for the housing activities of the former San Rafael Redevelopment
Agency and the activities of the Housing Successor are reported in the City’s Low and Moderate Income
Housing Special Revenue Fund.
We noted that the City did not file the annual progress report to the Department of Housing and
Community Development for fiscal year 2019 that was due by April 1, 2020 and the report has not been
posted to the City’s website.
The City, as Housing Successor, should file the delinquent report and develop procedures to ensure
ongoing compliance with the provisions of HSC Section 34176.1, including the annual reporting
requirements.
Management’s Response:
The City understands the filing requirement and will file the delinquent report. The City was
relying on its outside consultant to file this on their behalf and going forward, will add this annual
filing to its calendar of due dates so it is not missed.
2020-05 Treasurer’s Report Frequency of Reporting
The Reporting section of the City’s Investment Policy requires quarterly reporting to City Council.
However, the Delegation of Authority section of the Policy delegates the authority to invest the funds of
the City under California Government Code Section 53607, which requires monthly reporting of
transactions to the legislative body.
The City should determine whether the quarterly reporting requirement is sufficient under the
Government Code, or if the Investment Policy and reporting frequency should be revised to conform with
the Code requirements.
Management’s Response:
The Finance Director believes that the GC 53607 requirement was included because in many
cities, the City’s Treasurer is elected and may not be a financial professional. However, the City
of San Rafael delegated the responsibility of investment decisions to the Finance Director who
also acts as the City Treasurer. Therefore, the oversight GC 53607 attempts to provide is
unnecessary at this time and the existing City Investment Policy requiring quarterly reports is
sufficient.

NEW GASB PRONOUNCEMENTS OR PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The following comment represents new pronouncements taking affect in the next few years. We have
cited them here to keep you informed of developments:
EFFECTIVE FISCAL YEAR 2020/21:
GASB 84 – Fiduciary Activities
The objective of this Statement is to improve guidance regarding the identification of fiduciary activities
for accounting and financial reporting purposes and how those activities should be reported.
This Statement establishes criteria for identifying fiduciary activities of all state and local governments.
The focus of the criteria generally is on (1) whether a government is controlling the assets of the fiduciary
activity and (2) the beneficiaries with whom a fiduciary relationship exists. Separate criteria are included
to identify fiduciary component units and postemployment benefit arrangements that are fiduciary
activities.
An activity meeting the criteria should be reported in a fiduciary fund in the basic financial statements.
Governments with activities meeting the criteria should present a statement of fiduciary net position and a
statement of changes in fiduciary net position. An exception to that requirement is provided for a
business-type activity that normally expects to hold custodial assets for three months or less.
This Statement describes four fiduciary funds that should be reported, if applicable: (1) pension (and other
employee benefit) trust funds, (2) investment trust funds, (3) private-purpose trust funds, and (4) custodial
funds. Custodial funds generally should report fiduciary activities that are not held in a trust or equivalent
arrangement that meets specific criteria.
A fiduciary component unit, when reported in the fiduciary fund financial statements of a primary
government, should combine its information with its component units that are fiduciary component units
and aggregate that combined information with the primary government’s fiduciary funds.
This Statement also provides for recognition of a liability to the beneficiaries in a fiduciary fund when an
event has occurred that compels the government to disburse fiduciary resources. Events that compel a
government to disburse fiduciary resources occur when a demand for the resources has been made or
when no further action, approval, or condition is required to be taken or met by the beneficiary to release
the assets.

GASB 90 - Majority Equity Interests—an amendment of GASB Statements No. 14 and No. 61)
The primary objectives of this Statement are to improve the consistency and comparability of reporting a
government’s majority equity interest in a legally separate organization and to improve the relevance of
financial statement information for certain component units. It defines a majority equity interest and
specifies that a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization should be reported as an
investment if a government’s holding of the equity interest meets the definition of an investment. A
majority equity interest that meets the definition of an investment should be measured using the equity
method, unless it is held by a special-purpose government engaged only in fiduciary activities, a fiduciary
fund, or an endowment (including permanent and term endowments) or permanent fund. Those
governments and funds should measure the majority equity interest at fair value.
For all other holdings of a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization, a government should
report the legally separate organization as a component unit, and the government or fund that holds the
equity interest should report an asset related to the majority equity interest using the equity method. This
Statement establishes that ownership of a majority equity interest in a legally separate organization results
in the government being financially accountable for the legally separate organization and, therefore, the
government should report that organization as a component unit.
This Statement also requires that a component unit in which a government has a 100 percent equity
interest account for its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources
at acquisition value at the date the government acquired a 100 percent equity interest in the component
unit. Transactions presented in flows statements of the component unit in that circumstance should
include only transactions that occurred subsequent to the acquisition.
The requirements of this Statement are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.
Earlier application is encouraged. The requirements should be applied retroactively, except for the
provisions related to (1) reporting a majority equity interest in a component unit and (2) reporting a
component unit if the government acquires a 100 percent equity interest. Those provisions should be
applied on a prospective basis.

GASB 87 – Leases
The objective of this Statement is to better meet the information needs of financial statement users by
improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by governments. This Statement increases the
usefulness of governments’ financial statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and
liabilities for leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of
resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single
model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to
use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an
intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred
inflow of resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’
leasing activities.
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset
(the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction. Examples of nonfinancial assets include buildings, land, vehicles, and equipment. Any
contract that meets this definition should be accounted for under the leases guidance, unless specifically
excluded in this Statement.
GASB 89 – Accounting for Interest Cost Incurred before the End of a Construction Period
The objectives of this Statement are (1) to enhance the relevance and comparability of information about
capital assets and the cost of borrowing for a reporting period and (2) to simplify accounting for interest
cost incurred before the end of a construction period.
This Statement establishes accounting requirements for interest cost incurred before the end of a
construction period. Such interest cost includes all interest that previously was accounted for in
accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 5–22 of Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting
and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA
Pronouncements, which are superseded by this Statement. This Statement requires that interest cost
incurred before the end of a construction period be recognized as an expense in the period in which the
cost is incurred for financial statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. As a
result, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period will not be included in the historical
cost of a capital asset reported in a business-type activity or enterprise fund.
This Statement also reiterates that in financial statements prepared using the current financial resources
measurement focus, interest cost incurred before the end of a construction period should be recognized as
an expenditure on a basis consistent with governmental fund accounting principles.

The objectives of this Statement are to enhance comparability in accounting and financial reporting and to
improve the consistency of authoritative literature by addressing practice issues that have been identified
during implementation and application of certain GASB Statements. This Statement addresses a variety
of topics and includes specific provisions about the following:
The effective date of Statement No. 87, Leases, and Implementation Guide No. 2019-3, Leases,

Reporting of intra-entity transfers of assets between a primary government employer and a
component unit defined benefit pension plan or defined benefit other postemployment benefit

Terminology used to refer to derivative instruments.
GASB 93 – Replacement of Interbank Offered Rates
Some governments have entered into agreements in which variable payments made or received depend on
an interbank offered rate (IBOR)—most notably, the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As a
result of global reference rate reform, LIBOR is expected to cease to exist in its current form at the end of
2021, prompting governments to amend or replace financial instruments for the purpose of replacing
LIBOR with other reference rates, by either changing the reference rate or adding or changing fallback
provisions related to the reference rate.
Statement No. 53, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Derivative Instruments, as amended, requires a
government to terminate hedge accounting when it renegotiates or amends a critical term of a hedging
derivative instrument, such as the reference rate of a hedging derivative instrument’s variable payment. In
addition, in accordance with Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended, replacement of the rate on which
variable payments depend in a lease contract would require a government to apply the provisions for lease
modifications, including remeasurement of the lease liability or lease receivable.

GASB 97 – Certain Component Unit Criteria, and Accounting for and Financial Reporting for
Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans
The primary objectives of this Statement are to (1) increase consistency and comparability related to the
reporting of fiduciary component units in circumstances in which a potential component unit does not
have a governing board and the primary government performs the duties that a governing board typically
would perform; (2) mitigate costs associated with the reporting of certain defined contribution pension
plans, defined contribution other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, and employee benefit plans
other than pension plans or OPEB plans (other employee benefit plans) as fiduciary component units in
fiduciary fund financial statements; and (3) enhance the relevance, consistency, and comparability of the
accounting and financial reporting for Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 457 deferred compensation
plans (Section 457 plans) that meet the definition of a pension plan and for benefits provided through
those plans.
This Statement requires that for purposes of determining whether a primary government is financially
accountable for a potential component unit, except for a potential component unit that is a defined
contribution pension plan, a defined contribution OPEB plan, or an other employee benefit plan (for
example, certain Section 457 plans), the absence of a governing board should be treated the same as the
appointment of a voting majority of a governing board if the primary government performs the duties that
a governing board typically would perform.

This Statement (1) requires that a Section 457 plan be classified as either a pension plan or an other
employee benefit plan depending on whether the plan meets the definition of a pension plan and (2)
clarifies that Statement 84, as amended, should be applied to all arrangements organized under IRC
Section 457 to determine whether those arrangements should be reported as fiduciary activities.
This Statement supersedes the remaining provisions of Statement No. 32, Accounting and Financial
Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans, as amended, regarding
investment valuation requirements for Section 457 plans. As a result, investments of all Section 457 plans
should be measured as of the end of the plan’s reporting period in all circumstances.

GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations
The primary objectives of this Statement are to provide a single method of reporting conduit debt
obligations by issuers and eliminate diversity in practice associated with (1) commitments extended by
issuers, (2) arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations, and (3) related note disclosures. This
Statement achieves those objectives by clarifying the existing definition of a conduit debt obligation;
establishing that a conduit debt obligation is not a liability of the issuer; establishing standards for
accounting and financial reporting of additional commitments and voluntary commitments extended by
issuers and arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations; and improving required note
disclosures.
A conduit debt obligation is defined as a debt instrument having all of the following characteristics:
There are at least three parties involved:
(1) an issuer
(2) a third-party obligor, and
(3) a debt holder or a debt trustee.
The issuer and the third-party obligor are not within the same financial reporting entity.
The debt obligation is not a parity bond of the issuer, nor is it cross-collateralized with other debt
of the issuer.
The third-party obligor or its agent, not the issuer, ultimately receives the proceeds from the debt
issuance.
The third-party obligor, not the issuer, is primarily obligated for the payment of all amounts
associated with the debt obligation (debt service payments).
All conduit debt obligations involve the issuer making a limited commitment. Some issuers extend
additional commitments or voluntary commitments to support debt service in the event the third party is,
or will be, unable to do so.
An issuer should not recognize a conduit debt obligation as a liability. However, an issuer should
recognize a liability associated with an additional commitment or a voluntary commitment to support debt
service if certain recognition criteria are met. As long as a conduit debt obligation is outstanding, an
issuer that has made an additional commitment should evaluate at least annually whether those criteria are
met. An issuer that has made only a limited commitment should evaluate whether those criteria are met
when an event occurs that causes the issuer to reevaluate its willingness or ability to support the obligor’s
debt service through a voluntary commitment.
This Statement also addresses arrangements—often characterized as leases—that are associated with
conduit debt obligations. In those arrangements, capital assets are constructed or acquired with the
proceeds of a conduit debt obligation and used by third-party obligors in the course of their activities.
Payments from third-party obligors are intended to cover and coincide with debt service payments.
During those arrangements, issuers retain the titles to the capital assets. Those titles may or may not pass
to the obligors at the end of the arrangements.

GASB 91 – Conduit Debt Obligations (Continued)
Issuers should not report those arrangements as leases, nor should they recognize a liability for the related
conduit debt obligations or a receivable for the payments related to those arrangements. In addition, the
following provisions apply:
If the title passes to the third-party obligor at the end of the arrangement, an issuer should not
recognize a capital asset.
If the title does not pass to the third-party obligor and the third party has exclusive use of the
entire capital asset during the arrangement, the issuer should not recognize a capital asset until the
arrangement ends.
If the title does not pass to the third-party obligor and the third party has exclusive use of only
portions of the capital asset during the arrangement, the issuer, at the inception of the
arrangement, should recognize the entire capital asset and a deferred inflow of resources. The
deferred inflow of resources should be reduced, and an inflow recognized, in a systematic and
rational manner over the term of the arrangement.
This Statement requires issuers to disclose general information about their conduit debt obligations,
organized by type of commitment, including the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the issuers’
conduit debt obligations and a description of each type of commitment. Issuers that recognize liabilities
related to supporting the debt service of conduit debt obligations also should disclose information about
the amount recognized and how the liabilities changed during the reporting period.
How the Changes in this Statement will Improve Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by eliminating the existing option for
issuers to report conduit debt obligations as their own liabilities, thereby ending significant diversity in
practice. The clarified definition will resolve stakeholders’ uncertainty as to whether a given financing is,
in fact, a conduit debt obligation. Requiring issuers to recognize liabilities associated with additional
commitments extended by issuers and to recognize assets and deferred inflows of resources related to
certain arrangements associated with conduit debt obligations also will eliminate diversity, thereby
improving comparability in reporting by issuers. Revised disclosure requirements will provide financial
statement users with better information regarding the commitments issuers extend and the likelihood that
they will fulfill those commitments. That information will inform users of the potential impact of such
commitments on the financial resources of issuers and help users assess issuers’ roles in conduit debt
obligations.

GASB 94 – Public-Private and Public-Public Partnerships and Availability Payment Arrangements
The primary objective of this Statement is to improve financial reporting by addressing issues related to
public-private and public-public partnership arrangements (PPPs). As used in this Statement, a PPP is an
arrangement in which a government (the transferor) contracts with an operator (a governmental or
nongovernmental entity) to provide public services by conveying control of the right to operate or use a
nonfinancial asset, such as infrastructure or other capital asset (the underlying PPP asset), for a period of
time in an exchange or exchange-like transaction. Some PPPs meet the definition of a service concession
arrangement (SCA), which the Board defines in this Statement as a PPP in which (1) the operator collects
and is compensated by fees from third parties; (2) the transferor determines or has the ability to modify or
approve which services the operator is required to provide, to whom the operator is required to provide
the services, and the prices or rates that can be charged for the services; and (3) the transferor is entitled to
significant residual interest in the service utility of the underlying PPP asset at the end of the arrangement.
This Statement also provides guidance for accounting and financial reporting for availability payment
arrangements (APAs). As defined in this Statement, an APA is an arrangement in which a government
compensates an operator for services that may include designing, constructing, financing, maintaining, or
operating an underlying nonfinancial asset for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction.
PPPs - This Statement requires that PPPs that meet the definition of a lease apply the guidance in
Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended, if existing assets of the transferor that are not required to be
improved by the operator as part of the PPP arrangement are the only underlying PPP assets and the PPP
does not meet the definition of an SCA. This Statement provides accounting and financial reporting
requirements for all other PPPs: those that either (1) meet the definition of an SCA or (2) are not within
the scope of Statement 87, as amended (as clarified by this Statement). The PPP term is defined as the
period during which an operator has a noncancellable right to use an underlying PPP asset, plus, if
applicable, certain periods if it is reasonably certain, based on all relevant factors, that the transferor or the
operator either will exercise an option to extend the PPP or will not exercise an option to terminate the
PPP.
A transferor generally should recognize an underlying PPP asset as an asset in financial statements
prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. However, in the case of an underlying PPP
asset that is not owned by the transferor or is not the underlying asset of an SCA, a transferor should
recognize a receivable measured based on the operator’s estimated carrying value of the underlying PPP
asset as of the expected date of the transfer in ownership. In addition, a transferor should recognize a
receivable for installment payments, if any, to be received from the operator in relation to the PPP.
Measurement of a receivable for installment payments should be at the present value of the payments
expected to be received during the PPP term. A transferor also should recognize a deferred inflow of
resources for the consideration received or to be received by the transferor as part of the PPP. Revenue
should be recognized by a transferor in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.
This Statement requires a transferor to recognize a receivable for installment payments and a deferred
inflow of resources to account for a PPP in financial statements prepared using the current financial
resources measurement focus. Governmental fund revenue would be recognized in a systematic and
rational manner over the PPP term.

This Statement also provides specific guidance in financial statements prepared using the economic
resources measurement focus for a government that is an operator in a PPP that either (1) meets the
definition of an SCA or (2) is not within the scope of Statement 87, as amended (as clarified in this
Statement). An operator should report an intangible right-to-use asset related to an underlying PPP asset
that either is owned by the transferor or is the underlying asset of an SCA. Measurement of the right-to-
use asset should be the amount of consideration to be provided to the transferor, plus any payments made
to the transferor at or before the commencement of the PPP term, and certain direct costs. For an
underlying PPP asset that is not owned by the transferor and is not the underlying asset of an SCA, an
operator should recognize a liability measured based on the estimated carrying value of the underlying
PPP asset as of the expected date of the transfer in ownership. In addition, an operator should recognize a
liability for installment payments, if any, to be made to the transferor in relation to the PPP. Measurement
of a liability for installment payments should be at the present value of the payments expected to be made
during the PPP term. An operator also should recognize a deferred outflow of resources for the
consideration provided or to be provided to the transferor as part of the PPP. Expense should be
recognized by an operator in a systematic and rational manner over the PPP term.
This Statement also requires a government to account for PPP and non-PPP components of a PPP as
separate contracts. If a PPP involves multiple underlying assets, a transferor and an operator in certain
cases should account for each underlying PPP asset as a separate PPP. To allocate the contract price to
different components, a transferor and an operator should use contract prices for individual components
as long as they do not appear to be unreasonable based on professional judgment or use professional
judgment to determine their best estimate if there are no stated prices or if stated prices appear to be
unreasonable. If determining the best estimate is not practicable, multiple components in a PPP should be
accounted for as a single PPP.
This Statement also requires an amendment to a PPP to be considered a PPP modification, unless the
operator’s right to use the underlying PPP asset decreases, in which case it should be considered a partial
or full PPP termination. A PPP termination should be accounted for by a transferor by reducing, as
applicable, any receivable for installment payments or any receivable related to the transfer of ownership
of the underlying PPP asset and by reducing the related deferred inflow of resources. An operator should
account for a termination by reducing the carrying value of the right-to-use asset and, as applicable, any
liability for installment payments or liability to transfer ownership of the underlying PPP asset. A PPP
modification that does not qualify as a separate PPP should be accounted for by remeasuring PPP assets
and liabilities.
APAs - An APA that is related to designing, constructing, and financing a nonfinancial asset in which
ownership of the asset transfers by the end of the contract should be accounted for by a government as a
financed purchase of the underlying nonfinancial asset. This Statement requires a government that
engaged in an APA that contains multiple components to recognize each component as a separate
arrangement. An APA that is related to operating or maintaining a nonfinancial asset should be reported
by a government as an outflow of resources in the period to which payments relate.

GASB 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements
This Statement provides guidance on the accounting and financial reporting for subscription-based
information technology arrangements (SBITAs) for government end users (governments). This Statement
(1) defines a SBITA; (2) establishes that a SBITA results in a right-to-use subscription asset—an
intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability; (3) provides the capitalization criteria for
outlays other than subscription payments, including implementation costs of a SBITA; and (4) requires
note disclosures regarding a SBITA. To the extent relevant, the standards for SBITAs are based on the
standards established in Statement No. 87, Leases, as amended.
A SBITA is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another party’s (a SBITA
vendor’s) information technology (IT) software, alone or in combination with tangible capital assets (the
underlying IT assets), as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction.
The subscription term includes the period during which a government has a noncancelable right to use the
underlying IT assets. The subscription term also includes periods covered by an option to extend (if it is
reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will exercise that option) or to terminate (if it is
reasonably certain that the government or SBITA vendor will not exercise that option).
Under this Statement, a government generally should recognize a right-to-use subscription asset—an
intangible asset—and a corresponding subscription liability. A government should recognize the
subscription liability at the commencement of the subscription term, —which is when the subscription
asset is placed into service. The subscription liability should be initially measured at the present value of
subscription payments expected to be made during the subscription term. Future subscription payments
should be discounted using the interest rate the SBITA vendor charges the government, which may be
implicit, or the government’s incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate is not readily determinable. A
government should recognize amortization of the discount on the subscription liability as an outflow of
resources (for example, interest expense) in subsequent financial reporting periods.
The subscription asset should be initially measured as the sum of (1) the initial subscription liability
amount, (2) payments made to the SBITA vendor before commencement of the subscription term, and (3)
capitalizable implementation costs, less any incentives received from the SBITA vendor at or before the
commencement of the subscription term. A government should recognize amortization of the subscription
asset as an outflow of resources over the subscription term.
Activities associated with a SBITA, other than making subscription payments, should be grouped into the
following three stages, and their costs should be accounted for accordingly:
Preliminary Project Stage, including activities such as evaluating alternatives, determining needed
technology, and selecting a SBITA vendor. Outlays in this stage should be expensed as incurred.
Initial Implementation Stage, including all ancillary charges necessary to place the subscription
asset into service. Outlays in this stage generally should be capitalized as an addition to the
subscription asset.

GASB 96 – Subscription-Based Information Technology Arrangements (Continued)
Operation and Additional Implementation Stage, including activities such as subsequent
implementation activities, maintenance, and other activities for a government’s ongoing
operations related to a SBITA. Outlays in this stage should be expensed as incurred unless they
meet specific capitalization criteria.
In classifying certain outlays into the appropriate stage, the nature of the activity should be the
determining factor. Training costs should be expensed as incurred, regardless of the stage in which they
are incurred.
If a SBITA contract contains multiple components, a government should account for each component as a
separate SBITA or nonsubscription component and allocate the contract price to the different
components. If it is not practicable to determine a best estimate for price allocation for some or all
components in the contract, a government should account for those components as a single SBITA.
This Statement provides an exception for short-term SBITAs. Short-term SBITAs have a maximum
possible term under the SBITA contract of 12 months (or less), including any options to extend,
regardless of their probability of being exercised. Subscription payments for short-term SBITAs should
be recognized as outflows of resources.
This Statement requires a government to disclose descriptive information about its SBITAs other than
short-term SBITAs, such as the amount of the subscription asset, accumulated amortization, other
payments not included in the measurement of a subscription liability, principal and interest requirements
for the subscription liability, and other essential information.
How the Changes in this Statement will Improve Financial Reporting
The requirements of this Statement will improve financial reporting by establishing a definition for
SBITAs and providing uniform guidance for accounting and financial reporting for transactions that meet
that definition. That definition and uniform guidance will result in greater consistency in practice.
Establishing the capitalization criteria for implementation costs also will reduce diversity and improve
comparability in financial reporting by governments. This Statement also will enhance the relevance and
reliability of a government’s financial statements by requiring a government to report a subscription asset
and subscription liability for a SBITA and to disclose essential information about the arrangement. The
disclosures will allow users to understand the scale and important aspects of a government’s SBITA
activities and evaluate a government’s obligations and assets resulting from SBITAs.

REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
To the City Council of
the City of San Rafael, California
We have audited the basic financial statements of the City of San Rafael (City) for the year ended June
30, 2020. We did not audit the financial statements of the San Rafael Sanitation District, as of and for the
year ended June 30, 2020, which represents 25%, 60%, and 18% of the assets, net position, and revenues,
respectively, of the primary government. These component unit financial statements were audited by
another auditor, whose report thereon has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for this entity, is based solely on the report of the other auditor.
Professional standards require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit
under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance.
Significant Audit Findings
Accounting Policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new
accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year,
except as follows:
Parking Citation Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
During the year ended June 30, 2020, the City changed its policy related to parking citations and
began recording both the balance for parking citations receivable and an estimate for an
allowance for doubtful accounts related to those citations that may not be collectible.
Allocation of Internal Service Fund Elimination to Business-Type Activities
The City determined that the elimination of Internal Service Fund activities in the entity-wide
financial statements would no longer include an allocation to Business-type Activities, as the net
effect of that elimination was deemed immaterial. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2020, the
elimination is only allocated to Governmental Activities.
The following Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncement became effective:
GASB 95 – Postponement of the Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance
The primary objective of this Statement is to provide temporary relief to governments and other
stakeholders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. That objective is accomplished by postponing
the effective dates of certain provisions in Statements and Implementation Guides that first
became effective or are scheduled to become effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2018,
and later.

Earlier application of the provisions addressed in this Statement is encouraged and is permitted to

The City implemented the provisions of Statement No. 95 in fiscal year 2020.
Unusual Transactions, Controversial or Emerging Areas
We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative
guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the
proper period. However, events that occurred during fiscal year June 30, 2020 discussed below could
have an impact on the financial statements:
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus
(COVID‐19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures
worldwide. The COVID‐19 outbreak in the United States has caused business disruption through
mandated and voluntary closings of businesses and shelter in place orders for all but those
deemed essential services. While the business disruption is currently expected to be temporary,
there is considerable uncertainty around the duration of the closings and whether shelter in place
orders will be reinstated. Although many of the City's services are considered essential, City Hall
was closed to the public, certain other services transitioned to online‐only and because the City's
major revenue sources, including businesses that collect sales and transient occupancy taxes, are
directly impacted by these events, it is probable that this matter will negatively impact the City.
However, the ultimate financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

REVIEW DRAFT 11-9-20 DRAFT
Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management’s knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about
future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the
financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
significantly from those expected.
The most sensitive estimate(s) affecting the City’s financial statements were:
Estimated Net Pension Liability and Pension-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of
Resources: Management’s estimates of the net pension liability and related deferred
outflows/inflows of resources are disclosed in Note 9 to the financial statements and are based on
an actuarial study and accounting valuation determined by the Marin County Employees’
Retirement Association which are based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates and determined they are reasonable in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Net OPEB Liability and OPEB-Related Deferred Outflows and Inflows of Resources:
Management’s estimates of the net OPEB liability and related deferred outflows/inflows of
resources are disclosed in Note 11 to the financial statements and are based on an actuarial study
determined by a consultant, which is based on the experience of the City. We evaluated the key
factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates and determined they are reasonable in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Management’s estimate of the depreciation: is based on useful lives determined by management.
These lives have been determined by management based on the expected useful life of assets as
disclosed in Note 1K to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions
used to develop the depreciation estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Fair Value of Investments: As of June 30, 2020, cash and investments were measured
by fair value, as disclosed in Note 2 to the financial statements. Fair value is essentially market
pricing in effect as of June 30, 2020. These fair values are not required to be adjusted for changes
in general market conditions occurring subsequent to June 30, 2020.
Estimated long-term receivable from San Rafael Sanitation District: Management’s estimate of
the long-term receivable from the District is disclosed in Note 4F to the financial statements and
is based on the District’s estimated liability for pension and post-employment health care benefits
incurred by the City for the District staff, but not yet funded. We evaluated the key factors and
assumptions used to develop the long-term receivable from the District in determining that it is
reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Estimated Claims Liabilities: Management’s estimate of the claims liabilities payable is
disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements and is based on actuarial studies determined by a
consultant, which are based on the claims experience of the City. We evaluated the key factors
and assumptions used to develop the estimate and determined that it is reasonable in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Estimate of Compensated Absences: Accrued compensated absences which are comprised of
accrued vacation, holiday, and certain other compensating time is estimated using accumulated
unpaid leave hours and hourly pay rates in effect at the end of the fiscal year as disclosed in Note
1L to the financial statements. We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop the
accrued compensated absences and determined that it is reasonable in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.
Disclosures
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the
audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. In addition, none of the misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management were material, either individually or
in the aggregate, to each opinion unit’s financial statements taken as a whole.
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely uncorrected misstatements identified
during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. We have no such misstatements to report to the City Council.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting, or
auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be significant to the financial
statements or the auditor’s report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the
course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in a management
representation letter dated November 9, 2020.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation involves
application of an accounting principle to the City’s financial statements or a determination of the type of
auditor’s opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the
consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our
knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the governmental unit’s auditors. However,
these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were
not a condition to our retention.
Other Information Accompanying the Financial Statements
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information that accompanies and
supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management
regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the required supplementary information
and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the required supplementary information.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information which accompany the financial statements,
but are not required supplementary information. With respect to this supplementary information, we made
certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the
information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the
information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared
and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the
financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the Introductory and Statistical Sections which accompany the financial
statements, but are not required supplementary information. Such information has not been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the City of San Rafael Child Development
Program (Program) of the City of San Rafael, California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and
the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Program’s basic financial
statements as listed in the Table of Contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Program’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Program’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
1
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Program as of June 30, 2020, and changes in financial position for the year then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Program’s basic financial statements as a whole. The Supplementary Information as listed
in the Table of Contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not required parts of the
basic financial statements.
The Supplementary Information as listed in the Table of Contents is the responsibility of management and
was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and in conformity with the CDE Audit Guide, issued by the
California Department of Education, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the Supplementary Information is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated DATE on our
consideration of the Program’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting
and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Program’s internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financials Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The City of San Rafael operates the Child Development Program encompassing eight childcare
centers within the City of San Rafael. One of these centers provides day care services to subsidized
families under the Child Development Program funded by the California Department of Education,
which includes the Preschool program. The City is financially accountable for the activities of the
Program. The Program has no employees and substantially all staff services which it requires are
performed by the City's personnel. Costs incurred by the City to provide such services including
compensation, retirement, and other benefit costs are reimbursed by the Program. These basic
financial statements present only the activities of the Program and are not intended to present the
financial position of the City of San Rafael, California, or the results of its operations. The
financial statements of the Program are included as a Special Revenue Fund in the City's financial
statements.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis of Accounting
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus.
Governmental funds are accounted for on a spending or “current financial resources” measurement
focus. Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance
sheets. Operating statements of governmental funds present increases (revenues and other financial
sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financial uses) in net current assets.
The Program’s financial activities are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting.
Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all
revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within
sixty days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.
Revenues considered susceptible to accrual include charges for services, federal and state grants,
and interest. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred,
if measurable.
B. Fund Balance
Fund Balance is the excess of all the Program’s assets over all its liabilities.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Notes to the Basic Financials Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
C. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability
in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The City categorizes
its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used
to measure fair value into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair
value are observable in the market.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 inputs are inputs – other than quoted prices included within level 1 – that are
observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
If the fair value of an asset or liability is measured using inputs from more than one level of the fair
value hierarchy, the measurement is considered to be based on the lowest priority level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
NOTE 3 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS
The Program’s cash is included in a City-wide cash and investment pool, the details of which are
presented in the City’s basic financial statements. The Program pools cash from all sources with the
City of San Rafael so that it can be invested at the maximum yield, consistent with safety and
liquidity, while individual funds can make expenditures at any time. The City’s investment policy
and the California Government Code permit investments in Securities of the U.S. Government or its
agencies, Certificates of Deposit, Negotiable Certificates of Deposit, Banker’s Acceptances,
Commercial Paper, the State of California Local Authority Investment Fund (LAIF Pool), Repurchase
Agreements, Medium-Term Corporate Notes, Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds related to
special assessment districts and special tax districts, and Money Market/Mutual Funds.
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by
generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to
measure fair value of the assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in an active market for identical
assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and Level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs. The City of San Rafael pooled investments is an uncategorized input not defined
as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 input.

NOTE 4 – GRANTS RECEIVABLE
The Program has the following grants receivable at June 30, 2020:
Agency Grant Amount
Marin County First 5 Grant $36,910
Total $36,910
NOTE 5 – FUND BALANCES
Governmental fund balances represent the net current assets of each fund. Net current assets
generally represent a fund’s cash and receivables, less its liabilities.
The City’s fund balances are classified based on spending constraints imposed on the use of
resources. For programs with multiple funding sources, the City prioritizes and expends funds in
the following order: Restricted, Committed, Assigned, and Unassigned. Each category in the
following hierarchy is ranked according to the degree of spending constraint.
Nonspendable represents balances set aside to indicate items do not represent available, spendable
resources even though they are a component of assets. Fund balances required to be maintained
intact, such as Permanent Funds, and assets not expected to be converted to cash, such as prepaids,
notes receivable, and land held for redevelopment are included. However, if proceeds realized from
the sale or collection of nonspendable assets are restricted, committed or assigned, then
Nonspendable amounts are required to be presented as a component of the applicable category.
Restricted fund balances have external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors,
laws, regulations, or enabling legislation which requires the resources to be used only for a specific
purpose. Nonspendable amounts subject to restrictions are included along with spendable resources.
Committed fund balances have constraints imposed by formal action of the City Council which may
be altered only by formal action of the City Council. Nonspendable amounts subject to council
commitments are included along with spendable resources.
Assigned fund balances are amounts constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific
purpose, but are neither restricted nor committed. Intent is expressed by the City Council or its
designee and may be changed at the discretion of the City Council or its designee. This category
includes nonspendables, when it is the City’s intent to use proceeds or collections for a specific
purpose, and residual fund balances, if any, of Special Revenue, Capital Projects and Debt Service
Funds which have not been restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance represents residual amounts that have not been restricted, committed, or
assigned. This includes the residual general fund balance and residual fund deficits, if any, of other
governmental funds.

The Program participates in Federal, State and County grant programs that are fully or partially
funded by grants received from other governmental units. Expenditures financed by grants are
subject to audit by the appropriate grantor government. If expenditures are disallowed due to
noncompliance with grantor program regulations, the City may be required to reimburse the grantor
government. As of June 30, 2020, some amounts of grant expenditures have not been audited, but
the City believes that disallowed expenditures, if any, based on subsequent audits will not have a
material effect on any individual governmental funds or the overall financial condition of the City.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN
AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of the City of San
Rafael Child Development Program (Program), California, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and
the related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated DATE.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Program's internal control
over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Program’s internal control. Accordingly, we do
not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Program’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Program’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified. We have identified certain deficiencies in internal control, as
described in CDC 2020-01 and CDC 2020-02 in the accompanying Current Year Findings and
Responses, that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Program's financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
26
City’s Response to Findings
The City’s response to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying Current
Year Findings and Responses. The City’s response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
1Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Program’s internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the Program’s internal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
CURRENT YEAR FINDINGS AND RESPONSES
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
During our audit of the financial statements of the City of San Rafael (City) for the year ended June 30,
2020 the following were identified as significant deficiencies in the City’s internal control. Since the
Program utilizes the City to provide the Program’s accounting function, we consider the following to be
significant deficiencies in the Program’s internal control.
Finding CDC 2020-01: Documentation of Review of Changes to the Vendor Database
Program: CSPP- 8580
Criteria: Accounts payable staff should not normally have access to make changes to the Vendor
Database. In the event the system does not allow such a segregation of duties, changes to the Vendor
Database should be reviewed and approved by a person who is not making changes to the database, so
that two employees are involved in the process of adding, removing, or modifying vendor information.
Condition: We noted that more than one staff charged with processing accounts payable has access to
the vendor database. We also understand that the City has a process for reviewing the changes made to
the vendor database on a quarterly basis, however, the review process is not documented.
Effect: Without an independent review, the City is exposed to the risk of phantom vendors and
unauthorized changes to vendor accounts.
Cause: We understand City staff did not realize that the review process should be documented.
Recommendation: The City should develop procedures to document the quarterly review and approval
of change to the vendor database in some formal manner.
Management Response: Finance Management reviews changes made to the Vendor Database on a
quarterly basis in order to detect phantom vendors and unauthorized changes to vendor accounts.
Management reviews a report in Eden, the City’s Financial System. Going forward, to formalize the
review process, the report will be printed to PDF and signed by the reviewer.
Finding CDC 2020-02: Documentation of Review of Eden Employee Audit Reports
Program: CSPP- 8580
Criteria: Payroll staff should not normally have access to make any changes to the Payroll Database. In
the event the system does not allow such a segregation of duties, changes to the Payroll Database should
be reviewed and approved by a person who is not making the changes to the database, so that two
employees are involved in the process of adding, removing, or modifying employee information.
Condition: We noted that although the Human Resources Department is tasked with making changes to
the Payroll Database, more than one staff charged with processing payroll in the Finance Department has
access to edit base pay, incentives, and benefits in the payroll database.
To mitigate the control risk, we understand that the City has a process to review the employee audit
reports each pay period for accuracy and to ensure no unauthorized changes were made to the employee
database. However, we selected three pay periods (November 15, 2019, January 31, 2020 and May 15,
2020) for testing of review of the employee audit report and noted that there was no documentation of the
review.
28
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
CURRENT YEAR FINDINGS AND RESPONSES
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
Effect: Without proper documentation of the review process, we cannot determine if the above internal
control procedure is in place.
Cause: We understand City staff did not realize that the review process should be documented.
Recommendation: The City should develop procedures to document the review of employee audit
reports in some formal manner.
Management Response: The Finance Director reviews an employee audit report in Eden each pay period
to ensure no unauthorized changes are made to the employee database. Going forward, to formalize the
review process, the report will be printed to PDF and signed by the reviewer.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the financial statements of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Projects (Projects) of the City of
San Rafael (City), as of and for the year ended June 30 2020, and the related notes to the financial
statements, as listed in the Table of Contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Projects’
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Projects’ internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Projects as of June 30, 2020, and the change in financial position for the year
then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REVIEW DRAFT 11-9-20 DRAFT
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Projects and do not purport to, and do
not present fairly the financial position of the City as of June 30, 2020 in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to
this matter.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 9,
2020, on our consideration of the Projects’ internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control
over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Projects’ internal control over
financial reporting and compliance.

PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE PROJECTS
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended June 30, 2020
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of San Rafael, California (City), has developed the Pedestrian and Bicycle Projects (Projects)
under the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Article 3.0, that provides funding for projects
including the construction of pedestrian pathways, wheel chair ramps and bicycle master plan studies.
The TDA funds are distributed through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), which is the
agency responsible for allocation of funds to eligible claimants within the greater San Francisco Bay
Area.
The Projects are included in the Gas Tax Fund of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the
City. The financial statements are intended to present the financial position and results of operation for
the Projects, and not those of the City as a whole.
A. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized. The Projects are accounted
for in a governmental fund type and the modified accrual basis of accounting is used. Under the modified
accrual basis, revenues are recognized when they become measurable and available as net current assets.
Expenditures are generally recognized when they are incurred.
B. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of balance sheet may report a separate section for deferred outflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a
consumption of fund balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow
of resources (expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the balance sheet may report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources.
This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of fund
balance that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue)
until that time.
C. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING,
ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT
AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON
AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Honorable Members of the City Council
City of San Rafael, California
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States, the financial statements of the City of San Rafael (City) Pedestrian and Bicycle
(Projects), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, and have
issued our report thereon dated November 9, 2020.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Projects’ internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Projects’ internal control. Accordingly, we
do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Projects’ internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Projects’ financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less
severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses
may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Projects’ financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. Our procedures included the applicable audit procedures
contained in §6666 of Title 21 of California Code of Regulations and tests of compliance with the
applicable provisions of the Transportation Development Act and the Allocation Instructions and
Resolutions of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
We have also issued a separate Memorandum on Internal Control dated November 9, 2020, which is an
integral part of our audit and should be read in conjunction with this report.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Projects’ internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the Projects’ internal control and compliance.
Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission,
management, City Council, others within the City, and federal awarding agencies and pass-through
entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties;
however, this restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public
record.
